ANNEXES The following annexes are an integral part of this Procurement Notice. In case of any conflict between the provisions of the Annex-II and the Procurement Notice and/or Annex-I, the provisions of Annex-II are applicable. Annex-I: Terms of Reference Annex-II: General Conditions of Contract for the Services of Individual Contractors ANNEX-I – TERMS OF REFERENCE 1 Background UNDP Turkey aims to find practical solutions to Turkey"s development challenges and manages projects together with the Turkish Government and other partners to address them. Since 1986 it has implemented over 80 programs across the country. In addition, the UNDP has played a major role in response to crises and disasters in Turkey and the surrounding region. UNDP Turkey has positioned to contribute through three core areas: 1) Inclusive and Democratic Governance (IDG); 2) Inclusive and Sustainable Growth (ISG); and 3) Climate Change and Environment (CCE); and in addition to these core areas, UNDP Turkey is emphasizing the role of Strategic Partnerships that cut across the entire country programme as well as regionally and globally. The ISG Portfolio is geared towards addressing structural economic problems, such as productivity, innovation, the middle-income trap, multi-dimensional poverty, energy security and regional disparities, as well as challenges with social, environmental and economic repercussions, such as urbanization. Within the scope of the Economic-Growth and Competitiveness Cluster of the ISG portfolio, UNDP aims to support Turkey in its economic and social development and to enhance competitiveness. Increasing productivity is critical for improvement of the manufacturing capacity, enhancement of competitiveness and acceleration of growth and thus economic and social development. In Turkey, productivity is the main obstacle of the growth. The purpose of the Project is to produce a policy framework, which is shaped by a forward-looking analysis, based on economic convergence scenarios, and which at the same time takes into account the fundamental differences between manufacturing industries in terms of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) constraints. Support to Development of a Policy Framework on Total Factor Productivity Project’s overall objective is to improve the contribution of total factor productivity to growth and specific objective is to improve the institutional capacities to formulate and implement sector policies and strategies that contribute to national competitiveness. The Project, funded by EUD, will target to reach and interact with a wide range of stakeholders from public sector to private sector covering policy makers and business actors including think tanks, business service organizations etc. Ministry of Development will be the final beneficiary who will own the policy framework and manufacturing industry representatives and overall economic actors will be also among the final beneficiaries to be affected by the policy framework. In line with the Description of Action there are three components; Inception phase, TFP Assessment and TFP Policy Framework. The policy utilizing the framework, and the follow-up activities after the policy to be in place is supported by pilot studies. Pilot studies are likely to help to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the policy setting. 4 Pilot Projects have been identified. Pilot 1 is the Need Assessment Study for the Establishment of a Digital Supply Chain in Ready Made Garments Sector. Need Assessment Study will kick off with a Research Conference Methodology in order to include all the related stakeholders in the process with a Participatory Approach. Pilot 2 Testing the Digital Supply Chain Model and Road Map Designed with a prefeasibility study of Small Number of SMEs Pilot 3 Design of a Road Map with related stakeholders to enable SMEs to utilize Carbon Fiber more widely Pilot 4 SME Productivity Assessment Study- Impact of National and International Rewards on Productivity of SMEs Based on KALDER and EFQM Models Pilot studies are targeting to support the implementation partners to take action in the agreed pilot project topics. The project is expecting to receive mainly the lessons learned from the pilots to reflect them to White Paper, which is expected to be produced, to touch to Total Factor Productivity issues in Turkey. On the other hand, we expect the Pilot Studies to be continued or followed up by the implementation partners for their own sectoral targets after the project closure as well. In the above defined framework, Pilot 3 is going to produce a roadmap for the sector which is covering growth prospects, needs for accelerated development, defined roles of key stakeholders and ways to foster TFP in SMEs and increase number of spin off start-ups in the carbon fiber sector. In the above defined framework, an individual consultant who is experienced in the carbon fiber sector will be mobilized to lead the group studies within the Pilot 3. 2 Objective and Scope UNDP will mobilize a local Individual Consultant to deliver consultancy services during the TFP Pilot 3 Design of a Road Map with related stakeholders to enable SMEs to utilize Carbon Fiber more widely The consultant will lead Carbon Fiber Sector Road Map study and coordinate the working group activities.
