The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has published an invitation for expressions of interest for consultants to assist an EBRD project team in supervising the implementation of a large scale hospital facilities management PPP programme in Turkey.

The programme involves the delivery of 29 new hospitals. Each project under the programme is carried out by a special purpose vehicle, owned by the relevant project sponsors, who are responsible for the construction, management and maintenance of the hospital infrastructure.

To date, Turkey’s Ministry of Health (MoH) has successfully awarded 21 projects under the programme. 

The overall objective of the consulting assignment is to support the Bank in its project management functions with a view to ensuring to the maximum extent possible the timely and effective implementation of the projects in line with the contract requirements.

To this end, the selected consultant will identify any key problems which may threaten implementation and advise the Bank on remedial measures so that corrective action can be taken, taking into account the project agreement and financial agreement structure under the hospital PPP scheme.

The role of the consultant is to provide independent review and advice to the Bank in connection with the design, and construction, of the five projects in the programme which are currently in the construction phase.

The submission deadline is 28 December 2018. For more information, see the Business Opportunity.
