The consulting services (“the Services”) include technical assistance and logistic support to the Ministry of Education and Science and National Examination Center in establishing the National Assessment Program (NAP) in primary education and provision of quality assurance in all stages of the process. The process of establishing NAP will require developing age-appropriate sample-based assessments initially for primary grades 3 and 5. These will focus on the key enabling skills of basic mathematics (numeracy) and language (that is, languages of instruction). Expected duration of the services is March 2022- February 2026. It is estimated that the work will include 1,200 professional staff-days for the duration of contract. The detailed Terms of Reference (TOR) for the assignment can be found at the following websites: https://e-nabavki.gov.mk/PublicAccess/home.aspx#/international-donor-announcements and https://mon.gov.mk/peip The Ministry of Education and Science now invites eligible consulting firms (“Consultants”) to indicate their interest in providing the Services.

Previous experience in the countries of former Yugoslavia will be considered as an advantage. Key Experts will not be evaluated at the shortlisting stage.
