The Kingdom of Tonga has received financing from the World Bank toward the cost of the Skills and Employment for Tongans (SET) Project, and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services. The Ministry of Finance has established the Central Services Unit (CSU) to provide services related to: (i) project preparation and implementation, and (ii) capacity building. For project preparation and implementation, the role of the CSU is to provide both implementation and advisory services in the common fiduciary functions such as Procurement, Financial Management (FM), Safeguards, Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), and Engineering and Contract Management.

The consulting services (“the Services”) include the recruitment of the Part-Time/Call-off Civil Engineer and Contract Management Consultants, among others. The overall responsibility of the consultant is to proactively work with all relevant Implementing Agencies (IAs) in the area of engineering and contract management so that the projects deliver Value for Money (VfM) in achieving the different Project Development Objectives.

This is a part-time position for 20 months (may be extended based on needs and performance of the consultant) to provide support to multiple projects. Expected start date of the position is February 2023.

The detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the assignment can be found at the following link:

The Ministry of Finance now invites eligible individuals (“Consultants”) to indicate their interest in providing the Services. Interested Consultants should provide information demonstrating that they have the required qualifications and relevant experience to perform the Services (attach curriculum vitae with description of qualifications, experience in similar assignments, similar conditions, etc.).

The criteria for selecting the Consultant are:
