Description of Approach, Methodology and Work Plan for Performing the

Assignment

[Technical approach, methodology and work plan are key components of the technical proposal. It is
suggested that you present your technical proposal divided into the following three chapters:
-

Technical Approach and Methodology,

Work Plan, and
Organization and Staffing.

a)

Technical Approach and Methodology. Here you should explain your understanding of the
objectives of the assignment, approach to the services, methodology for carrying out the
activities and obtaining the expected output, and the degree of detail of such output. You
should highlight the problems being addressed and their importance, and explain the
technical approach you would adopt to address them. You should also explain the
methodologies you propose to adopt and highlight the compatibility of those methodologies
with the proposed approach, (e.g., the methods of interpreting the available data; carrying out
investigations, analyses, and studies; comparing alternative solutions). This chapter should
incorporate any modifications to the TOR proposed by you. In case the TOR requires the
Consultant to provide a quality plan and carry out the assignment according to its provisions,
an outline of the quality plan (e.g., its list of contents) should be included in this chapter of the
technical proposal.

b)

Work Plan. Here you should propose the main activities of the assignment, their content and
duration, phasing and interrelations, milestones (including interim approvals by the Client),
and delivery dates of the reports. The proposed work plan should be consistent with the
technical approach and methodology, showing understanding of the TOR and ability to
translate them into a feasible working plan. A list of the final documents, including reports,
drawings, and tables to be delivered as final output, should be included here. The work plan
should be consistent with the Work schedule of Form 5A5.

c)

Organization and Staffing. In this chapter you should propose the structure and composition
of your team. You should list the main disciplines of the assignment, the key expert
responsible, and proposed technical and support staff. The roles and responsibilities of
professional staff should be set out in job descriptions. In case of association, this chapter will
indicate how the duties and responsibilities will be shared. The organization and staffing will
be reflected in the Team Composition and Task Assignments of Form 5A6, and the Staffing
schedule of Form 5A7. An organization chart illustrating the structure of the team and its
interfaces with the Client and other institutions involved in the project also should be
provided.]
