Beskrivelse af udbuddet
The objectives of the evaluation are fourfold:
1) Analyse Danish Gender budgetary allocation to bilateral and multilateral programmes (2014-2021) and analyse its trends and gaps.
2) Analyse key gender achievements in selected bilateral and multilateral programmes (2014-2021) to analyse the outcomes and impacts of gender equality achieved at a transformative level, with particular emphasis on the following themes: SRHR/GBV and
integration of gender in Climate Change/Green Transition/Inclusive Growth, and Governance.
3) Analyse organisational gaps within the MFA, including human resources, monitoring and accountability mechanisms for promoting the integration of gender equality and women’s and girls’ rights in bilateral and multilateral development cooperation.
4) On the basis of a synthesis of main lessons learned, to propose recommendations for improved impact of future Danish support to gender equality and women’s and girls’ rights.
Given the broad scope and cross-cutting nature of the promotion of gender equality, it is necessary to select a sample of programmes for in-depth analysis. Multilateral organisations (UNICEF, UNFPA, Mary Stopes, Green Climate Funds and other relevant funds) and bilateral programmes (Kenya, Burkina Faso and Mali) will be selected. The former mentioned based on their thematic focus including SRHR/GBV, Climate Change and Green Transition. The Client will appreciate if the Consultant suggest 2-3 additional relevant multilateral organisations to be included as case studies and outlines the reasons for this choice and objectives. The exact number of organisations that will be selected will be decided during the inception phase.
In addition to the selected case studies, common trends and lessons learned from evaluation of other development agencies’ work on gender will be synthesized by the Consultant in the inception phase in order to inform the assessment of the Danish portfolio, and to provide important insight into recommendations for the development of institutionalized systems strengthening the integration of gender equality in programmes and programmes.
The three country case-studies and 5-6 case studies of multilateral organisations will aim to provide in-depth analysis of the results as well as difficulties encountered and opportunities arising. Examining in particular the results since 2014, the country case studies will deal with country programmes in Kenya, Burkina Faso and Mali, assessing how gender equality has been integrated in these programmes. The case studies of multilateral organisations includes 5-6 selected multilateral organisations/international organisations (UNFPA, UNICEF, Mary Stopes, Green Climate Fund and other funds), which provides opportunities for assessing how gender equality has been addressed in support to multilateral organisations.

Liste og kortfattet beskrivelse af betingelserne
In Part III.A-C of the ESPD, economic operators must answer whether they are subject to exclusion grounds.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if the economic operator itself or any person who is a member of its administrative, management or supervisory body or has powers of representation, decision or control therein has been convicted by final judgement or fined within the last 4 years for any of the exclusion grounds relating to the criminal convictions listed in section 135(1) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if it has unpaid overdue debt of DKK 100,000 or more to public authorities in relation to payment of taxes and payment of social security, cf. section 135(3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act. An economic operator is, however, not excluded where the economic operator has agreed on a repayment scheme with the collection authority and that scheme is observed, cf. section 135(4), or where the economic operator provides guarantee of payment of the part of the debt which constitutes DKK 100,000 or more, cf. section 135(5).
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if it is subject to any of the exclusion grounds listed in sections 136(1)(1) and 136(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
An economic operator is excluded from the procurement procedure if it within the last 2 years has been subject to any of the exclusion grounds listed in sections 136(1)(3) and 137(1)(2-3) of the Danish Public Procurement Act.
The contracting authority can accept the following documentation in relation to the exclusion grounds in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2) of the Danish Public Procurement Act (in order of priority):
(1) Extracts from the relevant register or similar documents issued by a competent judicial or administrative authority or certificates issued by the competent authority in the country referred to as documentation that the tenderer is not subject to the grounds for exclusion stipulated in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2);
(2) A declaration on oath (only if such extracts, certificates or similar documents are not issued in the country where the economic operator is established, or where the documentation does not cover all the grounds for exclusion stipulated in sections 135(1), 135(3) and 137(1)(2) entirely);
(3) A solemn declaration made by the person concerned before a competent judicial or administrative authority, a notary or a competent professional or trade body, in the country of origin or in the country where the economic operator is established (only if there is no provision for declarations on oath in the country where the economic operator is established).
Thus, the contracting authority cannot accept e.g. a solemn declaration made before a notary if there can be issued a certificate by the competent authority in the country where the economic operator is established. Moreover, the contracting authority cannot accept self-declarations or similar declarations issued by the economic operator or the person concerned as documentation in relation to the exclusion grounds.
Economic operators can identify the relevant documentation using the online platform e-Certis: https://ec.europa.eu/tools/ecertis
Economic operators are encouraged to submit all necessary documentation as early as possible.

Liste og kortfattet beskrivelse af udvælgelseskriterier
In Part IV.B of the ESPD, the economic operator must fill in its average yearly turnover for the last 2 financial years available (where the economic operator can present annual reports).
If the economic operator consists of a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the capacity of other entities, each involved economic operator or entity must submit a completed ESPD.
When an economic operator is participating in the procurement procedure together with others (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the economic and financial standing of other entities, the participating economic operators or the entities referred to are subject to joint and severable liability for the performance of the contract.
The contracting authority can accept annual reports or excerpts hereof or relevant statements from a bank or certified accountant as documentation in relation to the economic and financial standing.
When an economic operator is participating in the procurement procedure together with others or when an economic operator relies on the economic and financial standing of other entities, the economic operator must also provide statements of support or other documentation proving that the economic operator has access to the necessary economic and financial standing. The statements of support must establish a legal obligation for the party concerned and state that the involved economic operators or entities are subject to joint and severable liability for the performance of the contract.

Liste og kortfattet beskrivelse af udvælgelseskriterier
In Part IV.C of the ESPD, the economic operator must fill in a list of maximum 5 contracts entered into, ongoing or finalized within the last 3 years stating a description of the contract (nature and quantity of services from the economic operator and how they compare to the description of this procurement), amount (contract fee received by the economic operator), start date, end date and recipient (name and contact information).
The number of performed contracts is determined based on all submitted ESPDs (i.e. from all involved economic operators in a group of economic operators and/or other supporting entities).
If an economic operator has listed more than 5 contracts, the contracting authority will only read and assess the 5 most recent contracts listed (first based on end date, and then based on start date).
If the economic operator consists of a group of economic operators (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the capacity of other entities, each involved economic operator or entity must submit a completed ESPD.
When an economic operator is participating in the procurement procedure together with others (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the technical and professional abilities of other entities, the specific parts of the contract must be performed by the economic operators or entities with the required technical and professional abilities.
The contracting authority reserves the right to contact the recipients of services or require statements from the recipients, confirming that the economic operator has performed the listed contracts, as documentation in relation to the technical and professional ability.
When an economic operator is formed by a group of economic operators or relies on the technical and professional abilities of other entities, the economic operator must also provide statements of support or other documentation proving that the economic operator has access to the necessary technical and professional abilities. The statements of support must establish a legal obligation for the party concerned and state the parts of the contract to be performed by the party concerned.
Economic operators are encouraged to submit all necessary documentation as early as possible.

Betingelser for deltagelse (tekniske og faglige kvalifikationer)
Within the last 3 years, the economic operator is required to have performed (entered into, ongoing or finalised) minimum one (1) contract regarding an independent evaluation of gender equality in bilateral or multilateral programmes in developing countries with a value attributable to the economic operator of more than DKK 500,000.
A relevant reference is an independent evaluation of gender equality in bilateral or multilateral programmes in developing countries. This may also include an evaluation with a large gender equality component, but this will require a precise and proper documentation in the reference description of the scope of the gender equality component, e.g. as an explicit theme of the evaluation terms of reference and a substantial part of the evaluation analysis and reporting. In the absence of clear justification of gender equality being an explicit and large part of an independent evaluation a reference is not likely to be assessed a relevant.
An ‘independent evaluation’ is an evaluation carried out for an evaluation unit of a development organisation.
A monitoring and evaluation assignment (i.e. a long-term performance review and evaluation of the implementation and results of a programme) will not be considered as a relevant reference.
An award of a framework agreement will not, in itself, be considered as a relevant reference, but a contract awarded under a framework agreement can be considered as a relevant reference if it fulfils the stipulated requirements.
When the economic operator is participating in the procurement procedure together with others (e.g. a consortia or joint venture) or if the economic operator relies on the capacity of other entities, it is required that the participating economic operators or the economic operator and the entities referred to altogether meet the selection criteria.

Local time in section IV is according to Central European Time (CET) in Denmark.
Economic operators may only submit one application or tender.
Economic operators must submit a European Single Procurement Document (ESPD) as preliminary evidence that the economic operator is not subject to exclusion grounds and that the economic operator fulfils the requirements for economic and financial standing and technical and professional ability.
When the economic operator is participating together with others or if the economic operator relies on the capacity of other entities, each participating economic operator must provide a separate ESPD.
The evaluation will cover Danish support for gender equality as a thematic and cross-cutting theme in multilateral and bilateral development in general and specifically support to gender equality directly and indirectly in the country programmes in Burkina Faso, Mali and Kenya. Therefore, in the tender, economic operators must submit a declaration of prior and ongoing involvement from the tenderer and each involved Key Staff, and in accordance with the Danida Evaluation Guidelines and the DAC Quality Standards for Development Evaluation, the following shall apply. In situations where conflict of interest could occur, Key Staff are excluded from participation in the tender if their participation puts into doubt the independence and impartiality of the evaluation. Tenderers or Key Staff, participating in the preparation or implementation of the tendered evaluation assignment, are excluded from participation in the tender if their involvement constitutes unfair competition. Decisions on whether a conflict of interest or unfair competition exists rest with the contracting authority and are made on a case-by-case basis.
Before the time limit for receipt of tenders, the candidates, which the contracting authority has invited to tender, must present documentation of the information provided in the ESPD.
When an economic operator is participating in the procurement procedure together with others, the economic operator must present a joint statement from all the participating economic operators which identifies the member of the group who can act as an agent on behalf of the group with mandate to establish a legal obligation on behalf of the group in relation to the contracting authority.
Prior to the signing of the contract, the economic operator must present statements of availability from all non-permanent staff (e.g. project specific consultants or freelance consultants).
This contract has not been divided into lots, cf. section II.1.6), due to market and economic considerations.
Economic operators will not receive remuneration for their participation in the procedure.
