Georgia has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of Georgia Resilient Agriculture, Irrigation and Land (GRAIL) project and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services. The project cost is USD 150.00 million comprising of an equal share of USD 75.00 million by each co-financer.

The project development objectives are to: (a) improve irrigation, and drainage services, and agricultural production in project areas; and (b) strengthen national irrigation and land management institutional capacity for climate resilient planning. The primary project beneficiaries comprise farmers and agricultural enterprises across the project targeted regions. Overall, the rural population will benefit from enhanced services provided by land management, irrigation services, and agricultural support. In the public sector, the project will support institutional strengthening of Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture (MEPA), including Georgian Amelioration (GA), Rural Development Agency (RDA) and Land Management Agency (LMA). The Project consists of the following two main components: Component 1. Resilient Irrigated Agriculture and Component 2: Improved Land Management Capacity.

The consulting services (“the Services”) include “Consulting Services for Data Identification, Assessment, and Methodology Development for Land Mass Valuation in Georgia - Phase 1 and Phase 2”.

This assignment shall establish the practical foundation for implementing a land mass valuation system in Georgia under the GRAIL Project by (i) confirming and assessing the datasets needed to produce transparent, repeatable, and reviewable valuations and (ii) translating this evidence base into a Georgia-specific land valuation concept, governance model, and implementable methodology aligned with the mandates and policy needs of MEPA and LMA.

Key objectives include:

• Data Readiness: Identify, inventory, and assess the availability, quality, accessibility, and usability of datasets required for Income-Approach land mass valuation in Georgia.
• Methodology: Develop or refine a Georgia-specific land valuation concept and detailed methodology that operationalizes the Income Approach (with optional Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) where feasible) and supports transparent, consistent, and reviewable valuations.
• Institutional: Propose a governance and operating model for MEPA/LMA that clarifies roles, data stewardship, publication policy, update cycles, and appeals-readiness.
• Implementation: Provide a phased roadmap (pilot → scale-up → institutionalization) including capacity building, training, minimum viable IT/data architecture, and resource needs.

Indicative assignment duration: 10 months total (4 months Phase 1 +2 months possible break + 4 months Phase 2). Phase 2 is conditional upon Client approval.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia (MEPA) now invites eligible consulting firms (“Consultants”) to indicate their interest in providing the Services.
