Are there any qualification requirements you would recommend adding, removing, or adjusting to attract the most capable firms without unnecessarily narrowing competition?

Please share your views on the proposed evaluation approach. For a complex, multi-location assignment of this nature, what evaluation criteria do you think would be most effective in identifying the best-qualified firm? (e.g., methodology, team qualifications, local presence, gender inclusion track record)

Indicative Pricing. Based on the draft Scope of Work as describe, please provide indicative budget ranges (rather than formal quotations) for each of the major workstreams, where applicable (e.g., mapping and spatial analysis; Tier 2/3 blue carbon inventory; MRV framework development; Project Design Document (PDD) preparation; Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA); community engagement; and rehabilitation opportunity mapping). Please provide indicative budget ranges (minimum–maximum), rather than exact figures, and briefly state the key assumptions underlying your estimates (e.g., number of sites, geographic coverage, implementation period, and level of field effort).

Based on your knowledge of the Indonesian market, are there a sufficient pool of capable firms (national and/or international) able to deliver this assignment? Do you foresee any concerns about market depth or competition?

Are there any external market factors that could affect firms’ interest or cost proposals for this assignment (e.g., currency risks, competing donor programs, regulatory requirements)? Please list any key factors and potential impact on the project.

Would your firm be willing to participate in a follow-up discussion (virtual or in-person) with the MMAF project team to elaborate on your responses
