Trade Opportunity Information 
----------------------------- 
 
¶7.  The Government of Mozambique has received a credit from the 
World Bank toward the cost of an Energy Reform and Access Project, 
and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consultancy services. 
The services include providing expert guidance to the Ministry of 
Energy for the successful completion of three large power generation 
and transmission projects.  This would contemplate the review of all 
relevant documents, including feasibility study reports, framework 
agreements, and project implementation proposals and other relevant 
studies, as well as legal, financial and technical due diligence, 
preparation of project documents, support during negotiations and 
through financial closing. 
 
¶8.  The following three generation projects, along with the 
associated transmission lines which will be financed by private 
developers using Build, Own and Transfer (BOT) or similar structures 
would be covered by the contract: 
 
Temane Gas Combined Cycle Project: the selected consortium plans to 
present its proposal for development of the Temane generation and 
associated transmission line to the Government of Mozambique in 
December 2007. 
 
Moatize Coal Fired Power Project: a preferred partner has been 
identified for development of the Moatize coal-fired generation 
project.  Preliminary negotiations began in November of 2007.  The 
developer's proposal envisions upgrading the existing HVDC lines to 
evacuate power from the first units, with subsequent capacity 
evacuated along the North-South transmission backbone. 
 
Mphanda Nkuwa Hydro Power Project: the selected consortium has 
submitted a proposal which envisages 1,500 MW of installed capacity. 
 Financial closing is planned for the end of 2008 with consortium 
planned to start in 2009.  The developer is planning a 52 month 
period from start of work on site until the first turbine is in 
operation. 
 
The duration of the contract is expected to be 12 (twelve) months, 
with an option for another 12 months. 
 
¶9.  The Ministry of Energy now invites interested eligible 
consultants to indicate their interest in providing the services. 
Interested consultants must provide information indicating that they 
are qualified to perform the services (brochures, description of 
similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability 
of appropriate skills among staff, etc). The consultant should have 
significant experience, documented with a proven track record of 
similar work, preferably in Africa.  Consultants may associate other 
firms with relevant experience to enhance their qualifications. 
 
¶10.  The consultant will be selected in accordance with the 
procedures set out in the World Bank's Guidelines: Selection and
