Project Overview
The Kaizen Company implements the USAID-funded Enhancing Schools Management and Planning (ESMP) which aims to improve the time, budget management and quality of the school environment in Jordan by enhancing the planning, oversight, operation and maintenance capabilities of the Ministries of Education (MoE) and Public Works and Housing (MPWH). The MPWH manages the school design and construction process through contracting specialized architectural engineering firms and contractors, selected through the Ministry’s tendering processes, for the design, construction, supervision and construction management of school buildings. After schools are built, the MPWH and MoE form a committee to review and approve the final work before officially transferring the school responsibility to the MoE. There is, typically, a two-year defects liability period during which the construction contractor is responsible for repairing any faults in the building.
Purpose of the Consultancy
To improve the existing management of the public schools’ construction projects in Jordan, ESMP is seeking to commission the services of an experienced legal consultant to provide services to the Procurement improvement (introducing performance-based contracting and MoE Maintanaince framework agreement) and Construction Management improved processes and procedures.
The legal consultant will work in coordination and collaboration with the ESMP team to identify relevant legislative implications and stipulations in laws, bylaws, and related instructions, and then provide practical legislative recommendations and feedback relative to the listed technical areas.
The consultant will directly report to the Chief of Party (COP) and should conduct periodic meetings with the COP to explain progress and point to steps ahead to achieve results in line with the defined SOW. These meetings will be agreed upon before the start of the assignment with defined milestones and an approved timetable . Such agreement may be modified if during the course of the assignment adjustments need to be made by ESMP.
