PARLIAMENT OF THE ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF

WEST AFRICAN STATES

INVITATION TO BID

1. The Parliament of the Economic Community of West African States. otherwise called the ECOWAS Parliament, hereby Invites bids from reputable firms for a consultancy for the review of the structure of the General Secretariat of the ECOWAS Parliament. The Parliament, which is composed of 115 seats (with each of the fifteen Member States having a minimum of five seats), was established by Articles 6 and 13 of 1993 ECOWAS Revised Treaty, The Protocol on the Parliament was signed in Abuja on 06 August, 1994, and entered into force on 14 March, 2002.

1. In the course of the on-going transitional period, and pending the election of the members by universal adult suffrage, hopefully in 2010, the Parliament performs a consultative role in matters concerning the Community, especially matters of human rights and fundamental freedoms. At the end of the transition period, the Parliament will transform from making recommendations to other organs of the Community to the status of a co-decision -making body with the Council of Ministers, and subsequently, a legislative role in specific areas.

1. At its inception in 2002, the ECOWAS Parliament had a singular Department of Administration and Finance; however, following the restructuring of the ECOWAS Parliament undertaken in 2006, the Parliament now has a political wing and a two-department administrative wing.

1. The political wing of the Parliament comprises three organs: the Plenary, the Bureau of parliament, and the Conference of Committees Bureaux. The Plenary which is the General Assembly of Parliament is the highest decision-making organ of the Institution. The Bureau of parliament, which is made up-of the Speaker and the four deputy Speakers, is the governing body and draws its powers from and functions from the Rules of procedures and other legal texts of the Institution. The third political organ is the Conference of Committees Bureaux and comprises the Speaker, the four Deputy Speakers and the First as well as the Second Rapporteurs of each of the 13 (thirteen) Standing Committees. It derives its powers and functions from the Rules of Procedure and the Terms of Reference of each Committee.

1. The administrative wing of the ECOWAS Parliament is headed by the Secretary-General, who, as the institutional memory of the Parliament, is the professional chief adviser to the Honourable Speaker on all issues of administration and procedure. The two departments in the administrative wing are: the Department of Administration & Finance and the Department of Parliamentary Affairs.

1. Based on the experience gained In the last three years of the operationalization of the present structure, the Bureau of Parliament, at its last sitting in October, 2009, directed the General Secretariat to undertake a consultancy to make recommendations on a more appropriate structure for the General Secretariat.

1. Against this background, the consultant selected is expected to, with reference to relevant texts which will be made available, propose a new structure for the General Secretariat that should in addition to better equipping the administrative wing to meet the contemporary challenges of regional parliaments, would also, inter alia:

• Make the Secretary-General more responsive to the demands of the legislative organs of Parliament;

• Achieve a better synergy between the Political Organs on the one hand and the individual departments of the general Secretariat on the other;

• Recommend an appropriate size for the various departments as well as make proposals on the job profile for each post in order to create conditions for better segregation of duties, aimed at achieving a more effective accomplishments of tasks by the staff members (the current staff disposition list of the General Secretariat is attached as Table;

• Advise on the efficacy or otherwise of the existing two-department structure of the institution and make appropriate recommendations;

• Examine any other issues relating or incidental to the foregoing terms of reference and formulate necessary proposals for the purpose of enhancing the responsiveness and effective service delivery by the General Secretariat of the ECOWAS Parliament

1. This consultancy which should have a duration not exceeding 60 (sixty) working days, will attract appropriate fees to be paid in United States Dollars. Interested management firms are therefore invited to submit bids indicating Currency and validity period of quotation along with the following documents:

i)                   A copy of valid business registration certificate;

ii)                A copy of Tax Clearance Certificate (for the three years)
