Multi-consultant Framework Agreement for detailed design services for energy efficiency measures, structural strengthening and seismic assessment of public buildings under CEBU Project.

Procurement Method: Quality-Based Selection (QBS) Contract Type: Multi-Consultant Framework Agreement with Call-Off Contracts Framework Term: 1 (one) year, extendable by up to 2 additional years Number of FA Consultants: Minimum 3 – Maximum 15 (all firms scoring above 75 points) Estimated Scope: Approximately 66 public buildings across Uzbekistan Submission Deadline: 28 July 2026 at 16:00 (Tashkent time) Reference No.: CEBU/CS/FA-ALL 1.  Background and Context The Republic of Uzbekistan has received financing in the amount of USD 143 million from the World Bank toward the cost of the Clean Energy for Buildings in Uzbekistan (CEBU) Project, and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services for detailed design of energy efficiency measures in public buildings. The consulting services (“the Services”) include detailed design services for energy efficiency retrofits, structural strengthening where required, and related ancillary measures for selected public buildings across Uzbekistan under a multi-consultant framework agreement with call-off contracts. The public buildings covered by the CEBU Project include schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and clinics across the regions of Uzbekistan. Many of these buildings are characterized by high energy consumption for space heating, aging structures with varying levels of physical deterioration, and seismic vulnerability due to historical construction practices and evolving seismic standards. Under the CEBU Project, buildings have been or will be subjected to Walk-Through Energy Audits (WTEA) and Preliminary Assessment Reports (PAR). Based on these results, the Government of Uzbekistan intends to proceed with detailed design activities for approximately 66 public buildings across the Republic of Uzbekistan. Given the number of buildings, their regional distribution, and the phased nature of implementation, the PIU intends to establish a Framework Agreement with multiple qualified...
