AA-012434-001 - Ukraine Facility for Infrastructure Reconstruction (Ukraine FIRST) Infrastructure Project Facility

The overall objective of this technical assistance operation is to accelerate Ukraine’s economic recovery through the restoration of Ukrainian infrastructure. This will be achieved through the following specific objectives: - The reconstruction needs of Ukrainian infrastructure are addressed strategically and in a coordinated manner. - Infrastructure investments are adequately prepared. - The new infrastructure is in line with EU guidelines and meets Ukraine’s accession needs. The technical assistance will provide support to prepare projects documentation needed to secure the necessary financing and start with the physical implementation. Specific deliverables will include pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, designs, environmental and social impact assessments, climate risks assessments, financing and tariff plans, tender dossiers, etc. Ukraine FIRST will offer technical assistance (TA) services for the preparation of priority public sector infrastructure projects. These may be identified by Ukraine through the SPP, as approved by the SIC and routed to Ukraine FIRST, though it may also work on other projects, depending on their maturity (e.g. early stage pre-SPP), relevance or other factors as defined by Ukraine FIRST stakeholders. The beneficiaries will be Ukrainian public authorities and project promoters of agreed priority investments. The main infrastructure sectors to be covered include: energy, transport, social housing, municipal infrastructure, environment/agriculture, digital connectivity, healthcare and education. Other sectors might need to be covered as the needs in Ukraine are rapidly evolving. The Service Provider will be expected to mobilise a Team of 2 Key experts combining experience in multisector projects development and management in the fields of infrastructure. In addition the service provider will identify dedicated projects teams for each of the sub-assignment allocated to the Ukraine FIRST. These non-key experts' teams will be composed of a mix of highly experienced national and international experts seconded by specialists and junior experts. Key and non-key experts will be based, most of the time in Ukraine.
