This file is an “Organisation & Methodology” proposal template guides a consortium in writing a complete technical narrative for a Request for Services. It is structured to show the bidder’s rationale and understanding of the Terms of Reference, outline the proposed strategy and detailed approach (including stages, data collection, stakeholder engagement, and reporting), present the team’s qualifications and complementary expertise, and explain consortium backstopping, quality assurance, and project management arrangements. It also includes ready-made tables for risks/assumptions and mitigation measures, team composition and skills mapping, expert “pen portraits,” and a detailed timetable with an indicative manning schedule and activity plan, plus annexes that define expert status and the consortium member responsible for supervision and quality control.
