| Question | Answer |
| Can an expert run the same activity as outlined in the tender for an organisation operating within the same sector (i.e., media dev)? It is understood that the expert will ensure geographical distinctions in their assignment to prevent overlaps. | Yes, this will be possible, as long as conflict of interest is considered and not an issue. If the expert wins the tender, potential conflict of interest should be brought to IMS’ attention and considered on a case by case basis. |
| Is it allowed to submit a proposal as a group of experts (i.e., collaborative pool)? If so, should the response be made under the name of a registered entity/organisation? | Yes, this is allowed. Yes, the response can be made as a pool of experts and use the name of the registered entity, though it will be important to include CVs of each of the experts and clearly show each experience/competences specifically required in the tender. |
| In the event that responding as a pool is feasible, can the requested references in the ToRs be common (i.e., a total of five donor references for the entire pool)? | This requirement remains for every individual although being part of a pool. |
