To achieve its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) by 2030; the Government of Belize (GoB) seeks to expand its solar PV energy production capacity. To this end; the GoB has approached IFC's PPP Transaction Advisory team (CTA) to serve as a transaction advisor to the Ministry of Finance (MoF or the Client) in identifying a private sector operator to develop; construct; and operate grid-connected solar PV installations on an Independent Power Producer (IPP) basis (the “Project”). The Project's total expected installed capacity; currently envisioned to be in the range of 30-50MW spread across up to two sites; will be determined at the conclusion of the due diligence phase.IFC will assist the Client in structuring and implementing the Project in a manner that achieves the objectives of the Client; provides for a fair and transparent selection process; and brings the greatest economic and social benefits possible to the Project. The Project will be divided into two phases. It is envisaged that:Phase I: Diagnostic & Transaction Structuring will take approximately 6 months; from the date that the complete advisory team would have been mobilized. Phase II: Transaction Implementation is expected to take approximately 6 months to complete; from the time the Client notifies IFC of the strategic decisions taken at the end of Phase I. This phase will end with the satisfactory legal and commercial closing of the Transaction.IFC Advisory will appoint an international law firm (the “Consultant” or the “Contractor”) to provide legal support in relation to the Project and to undertake the scope of work detailed in the terms of reference (“ToRs”) below. The Consultant will select; subcontract and supervise a Belizean law firm (the “Subconsultant” or the “Subcontractor”) to support it in the performance of its scope of work in relation to any Belize-specific legal issues. The Consultant will oversee the work-product of the Subconsultant to ensure quality and will be responsible for managing the timing and manner of input from the Subconsultant. References to the Consultant will include the Subconsultant; unless the context otherwise requires.The Consultant will be part of the IFC Advisory’s transaction team and will work under IFC Advisory coordination in collaboration with other IFC-hired consultants for the Project.
