Annex IInstructions to Offerors

Introduction

General

UNDP Croatia is implementing a number of projects clustered in the portfolios of local development, social inclusion and environmental governance.

The Local development portfolio supports actions that contribute to improving absorption capacity for EU Structural and Investment Funds at the local and regional levels in Croatia, with a particular focus on less-developed areas. A key operation includes working with stakeholders to create a pipeline of project ideas to be considered by the Government for EU funding.

Starting from August 1, 2013, the portfolio includes the project “Preparing the ground for EU funds: Creating a pipeline of project ideas for Croatia’s less developed areas” (No. 0008743), to be implemented in Lika-Senj, Sisak-Moslavina and Karlovac counties, under the responsibility of the Key experts / Area Project Managers – UNDP Petrinja and Zadar field offices.

This project has evolved from previously implemented socio-economic recovery projects, reflecting the turn towards strengthening capacities at the local level for more efficient and effective implementation of EU policies and related measures, and absorption of EU funds.

The specific objectives of the project are: To develop a catalogue of identified and developed project ideas with potential

significant impact on development in three Croatian counties that are harmonized with existing local, regional and national programming and strategic documents, as well as relevant EU documents and acts covering the ESI in 2014-2020 period.

To provide a documented methodology for participative development of project ideas and standardized templates (for concept notes and project ideas, to be submitted for further decisions) that can be applied, after successful piloting in the course of the project, in other parts of Croatia;

To strengthen the capacity of regional coordinators and other interested parties at the local and county levels to identify and develop future project proposals for implementation using EU funds, by:

o Creating a platform for integrated local and regional planning and prioritization. This should be coordinated by regional coordinators with the support of County Partnership Councils and should include representatives of all sectors with a stake in regional development, including the public administration, local development agencies, private business and civil society organizations.

o Providing local and regional stakeholders with hands-on experience in developing, refining and prioritizing project ideas, drawing on examples from current EU member states; and

o Applying a participatory and integrated approach throughout the project.

As one of the key results, over 500 project ideas were identified and subjected to further “filtering”. Some of them, depending on the stage of elaboration and determination by the project owners, have been transformed into simple standardized “project fiches” (work packages for the purpose of this RFP), by using the template developed for the purposes of this Project.

3

As a result of this filtering, 26 such project ideas, in the given format (“project fiche”) were divided into 3 thematic areas: 1) Development of tourism destinations, tourism infrastructure and related services (protection and rescue) – 11 project ideas; 2) Science, business infrastructure and entrepreneurship – this RFP – 9 project ideas; and 3) Social inclusion, youth and community – 5 project ideas.

These project ideas were selected by the Project board to be further elaborated, with the main goal to determine whether the project ideas are feasible enough to proceed to the next stage of development, e.g. producing technical and other project documentation.

UNDP seeks to engage Consultant(s) to prepare pre-feasibility studies and project conceptual designs, and provide services of improvement of project idea/fiches, for the project ideas in the area of SCIENCE, BUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPORT TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP (hereinafter: the Consultant(s)), as determined by the List of “work packages” - project ideas in Annex IV to this RFP, based on project ideas prepared in the form of “project fiches”, by using the template developed for the purposes of this Project.

Section/Unit: UNDP, Local DevelopmentProgramme: LIFE: „Socio-Economic Recovery of Areas of Special State Concern and

Underdeveloped Regions in Croatia“Project Title: “Preparing the ground for EU funds: Creating a pipeline of project ideas

for Croatia’s less developed areas” (No. 0008743)

Duration: the latest date of delivery of outputs as per ToR is September 30, 2014

1. Background information

UNDP Croatia is implementing a number of projects clustered in the portfolios of local development, social inclusion and environmental governance.

The Local development portfolio supports actions that contribute to improving absorption capacity for EU Structural and Investment Funds at the local and regional levels in Croatia, with a particular focus on less-developed areas. A key operation includes working with stakeholders to create a pipeline of project ideas to be considered by the Government for EU funding.

Starting from August 1, 2013, the portfolio includes the project “Preparing the ground for EU funds: Creating a pipeline of project ideas for Croatia’s less developed areas” (No. 0008743), to be implemented in Lika-Senj, Sisak-Moslavina and Karlovac counties, under the responsibility of the Area Project Managers / Key experts – UNDP Petrinja and Zadar field offices.

This project has evolved from previously implemented socio-economic recovery projects, reflecting the turn towards strengthening capacities at the local level for more efficient and effective implementation of EU policies and related measures, and absorption of EU funds.

The specific objectives of the project are: To develop a catalogue of identified and developed project ideas with potential

significant impact on development in three Croatian counties that are harmonized with existing local, regional and national programming and strategic documents, as well as relevant EU documents and acts covering the ESI in 2014-2020 period.

To provide a documented methodology for participative development of project ideas and standardized templates (for concept notes and project ideas, to be submitted for further decisions) that can be applied, after successful piloting in the course of the project, in other parts of Croatia;

To strengthen the capacity of regional coordinators and other interested parties at the local and county levels to identify and develop future project proposals for implementation using EU funds, by:

o Creating a platform for integrated local and regional planning and prioritization. This should be coordinated by regional coordinators with the support of County Partnership Councils and should include representatives of all sectors with a stake in regional development, including the public administration, local development agencies, private business and civil society organizations.

o Providing local and regional stakeholders with hands-on experience in developing, refining and prioritizing project ideas, drawing on examples from

19

current EU member states; and o Applying a participatory and integrated approach throughout the project.

In order to achieve the objectives above, the following activities are to be implemented: 1. Elaboration of the “strategic guidelines” of the targeted area . On the basis of the key EU,

national and county level development documents (including the latest statistical socio-economic data of the targeted area), a short documents were prepared for each of the targeted counties, that have a role of the strategic guideline document for identification of suitable projects.

2. Review of existing available project level documentation . This includes a review of project ideas already collected by the Ministry from the targeted area, at the regional level by the regional coordinators and at the local level by towns, municipalities and Local Action Groups, in order to avoid duplication and identify potential project ideas that need further development in order to become eligible.

3. Organization of information workshops on EU funding priorities. These events were organised in close co-operation with the Regional coordinators, and the purpose was to include a wider range of stakeholders, especially those that were not present at the “EU Funds Days”, and to take stock of what has been done so far. The exchange of information was organised at a level of detail appropriate for the preparation and prioritization of development projects. Meetings and workshops were organized in each of the three counties.

4. Organization of project development workshops (“project clinics”). These project workshops were held in all targeted counties to develop new project ideas. Building on previous assessments and consultations with regional coordinators and other interested parties, these workshops have been focusing on developing projects of regional (county-wide) impact suitable for funding from, primarily, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). A participatory method was applied wherever possible, with representatives of all three sectors – public, civil and private – invited to participate, and a cross-sector approach promoted in an effort to ensure that projects pursue an integrated approach to development. Workshops were supplemented with direct and sector-specific discussions, since securing quality inputs from a large number of stakeholders at the same time can be cumbersome. The aim was to create a sustained dialogue across sectors that would continue outside the workshops.

5. Individual consultations with stakeholders at both regional and local level. The purpose of these more focused consultations was to further elaborate ideas collected through the interactive workshops, secure wider support for priority projects, and assess the feasibility of project ideas. It is expected that the individual consultations will lead to identification of other stakeholders and project ideas, not necessarily presented at the workshops. This activity was planned to be implemented throughout the project, in different forms, and documented, and it is still ongoing.

6. Compilation of a catalogue of credible project ideas suitable for EU funding . The aim of this extended process of consultation, combined with suitable expert review, was to yield credible project ideas for further development. Such project ideas have been prepared in a standardized format based on the current template that the Ministry uses for the submission of project proposals to the first programme component, “Preparation of Regional Development Projects.” UNDP has adjusted this to the needs of this project, with the format and required data agreed in consultations with the Ministry.

7. Preparation of the pre-feasibility studies for the potential “regional projects”, that would provide more in-depth analysis of the project context and serve as the main guiding document for further project preparation activities.

8. Elaboration of conceptual designs (“idejno rješenje”) for all potential “regional projects”

20

and a number of other, smaller, projects. Pre-feasibility studies and conceptual designs will be prepared for project ideas on a case-by-case basis, to be decided by the Project board, and within the limits of the foreseen budget.Anticipated work on pre-feasibility studies and conceptual designs includes improvement and finalization of the original project ideas in the given template.

9. Communication of the results. Both the catalogue of project ideas and the codified methodology used to develop them would be shared regularly with the Ministry, in order to provide inputs useful in developing operational programmes and other strategic and programming documents.

So far, the UNDP project team has, partially or fully (some of the activities were planned to be implemented throughout the project duration), implemented activities 1. to 6. listed above, with results presented in regular progress reports that will be made available to the selected consultants. As one of the key results, over 500 project ideas were identified and subjected to further “filtering”. Some of them, depending on the stage of elaboration and determination by the project owners, have been transformed into simple standardized “project fiches”, by using the template developed for the purposes of this Project.

As a result of this filtering, 26 such project ideas, in the given format (“project fiche”) were divided into 3 thematic areas: 1) Development of tourism destinations, tourism infrastructure and related services (protection and rescue) – 11 project ideas; 2) Science, business infrastructure and entrepreneurship – this RFP – 9 project ideas; and 3) Social inclusion, youth and community – 5 project ideas.

These project ideas were selected by the Project board to be further elaborated, with the main goal to determine whether the project ideas are feasible enough to proceed to the next stage of development, e.g. producing technical and other project documentation.

UNDP seeks to engage Consultant(s) to prepare feasibility studies, pre-feasibility studies and project conceptual designs, and provide services of improvement of project idea/fiches, for the project ideas in the area of SCIENCE, BUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPORT TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP (hereinafter: the Consultant(s)). The work has been divided into work packages, represented by the list of project ideas, prepared in the form of “project fiche”, by using the template developed for the purposes of this Project, where each project idea represents one work package. The list, as well as the “project fiches” will be made available to interested Offerors in electronic format, by link. The kind of requested service is determined for each project idea in the list.

Naznačiti daljnji tijek postupaka i procedura u razvoju projekta – potrebni dokumenti i dozvole, redoslijed radnji.

KONTROLNA LISTA:

Jesu li društveni, institucionalni i ekonomski okviri jasno opisani? Ima li projekt jasno definirane ciljeve u smislu socio-ekonomskih pokazatelja?

Jesu li društveno-ekonomske koristi zapravo dostižne provedbom projekta? Jesu li svi najvažniji društveno-ekonomski učinci projekta razmatrani u okviru regije, sektora ili zemlje?

Slijedi li projekt dosljedno ciljeve EU fondova (čl. 3. i čl. 4 Reg. 1083/2006, čl. 1 i 2 Reg. 1084/2006; čl. 1 i. 2 Reg. 1085/2006)?

Slijedi li projekt dosljedno prioritete nacionalne strategije i prioritete definirane u Nacionalnom strateškom referentnom okviru kao i Operativnom programu (čl. 27 i čl. 37 Reg. 1083/2006, čl. 12 Reg. 1080/2006)? Prema mogućnosti, točno navesti koje operativne programe treba uzeti u obzir...

Jesu li načini mjerenja postignuća ciljeva navedeni, kao i njihov odnos, ako ga ima, s ciljevima Operativnog programa?

3. Identifikacija projekta

3.1. Što je projekt?

Definiranje radova, aktivnosti, usluga koji će služiti izvršavanju jasno definiranog cilja projekta. Također raspored i predviđeno trajanje aktivnosti.

3.2. Indirektni i mrežni efekti projekta 3.3. Tko su korisnici / ciljna skupina?

KONTROLNA LISTA

Sadrži li projekt jasno definirane ciljeve i aktivnosti? Jesu li obuhvaćene sve aktivnosti – naznačiti koje aktivnosti nisu bile predložene u izvornom nacrtu

(obrazac), a potrebne su za ostvarenje glavnih ciljeva projekta. Ukoliko je za različite aktivnosti potrebno kombinirati više različitih fondova (ERDF, EAFRD, ESF) - NAZNAČITI

Jesu li neizravni učinci ispravno razmotreni (i isključeni ako su odgovarajuće cijene u sjeni primijenjene)?

Jesu li mrežni učinci razmotreni? Čiji troškovi i koristi će biti uzeti u obzir u ocijeni ekonomske dobrobiti proračuna? Jesu li sve potencijalno pogođene stranke uzete u obzir?

4. Analiza izvedivosti i opcija

4.1. Identifikacija alternativa

4.1.1. Što su alternativea/ Nema promjena (eng. BAU, business as usual)b/ Učini minimalno (eng. do minimum)c/ Učini nešto drugo (eng. do something else)

35

Rizik ovog dijela analize je zanemarivanje značajnih alternativa – posebno jeftinih rješenja (npr. efikasnije upravljanje, promjena cijena, alternativna infrastrukturalna rješenja/intervencije).Generalno, kada se promatraju opcije, politika cijena je često element koji utječe na odluku – ima utjecaj na samu investiciju i njen učinak, ima utjecaj na potražnju, itd. Sukladno tome u analizi svake opcije treba istražiti veze između cijena (tarifa) i njihov utjecaj na krajnji rezultat.

4.2. Analiza izvedivosti

4.2.1. Analiza potražnje (sadašnja i planirana)4.2.2. Raspoloživa tehnološka rješenja 4.2.3. Plan proizvodnje/rada/korištenja (uključujući iskorištenje infrastrukture)

Prilagoditi konkretnom projektnom prijedlogu

4.2.4. Kadrovi

Analizirati potrebne kadrove za provedbu projekta, upravljanje investicijom, procijeniti eventualne dodatne potrebe s obzirom na održivost projekta, posebno potrebe za obrazovanjem i usavršavanjem.

4.2.5. Obujam projekta a/ Lokacijab/ Materijalni ulazi c/ Vremenski plan s implementacijom d/ Faze širenja i financijski plan

4.2.6. Utjecaj na okoliš

4.3. Izbor opcije

Predstaviti alternative i argumentirati zašto nisu odabrane, ili zašto se preporučuje jedna od alternativa u odnosu na izvorni prijedlog – detaljno obrazloženje podataka iz točke 1.4.1.

KONTROLNA LISTA

Sadrži li projektna ideja dovoljno dokaza o izvedivosti projekta (iz inženjerskog, institucionalnog, upravljačkog, provedbenog, zaštite okoliša i sl. stajališta)?

Je li scenarij ‘nema promjena’ identificiran radi usporedbe sa situacijama sa i bez projekta?

5. Financijska analiza - procjena 5.1. Pretpostavke financijske analize

5.1.1. Procjena prihoda i rashoda

5.2. Visina investicije (procjena)5.2.1. Materijalni troškovi5.2.2. Nematerijalni troškovi

36

5.5. Izvori financiranja

5.6. Financijska održivost

Financijska analiza očekuje se na razini procjene. Gdje god je to moguće, potrebno je dokumentirati ulazne podatke. Dane procijenjene vrijednosti moraju biti realne i analitičke. Potrebno je posebnu pažnju obratiti na „skrivene troškove“ i troškove dodatnih aktivnosti koje nisu bile obuhvaćene izvornim prijedlogom projektne ideje, a prema mišljenju konzultanta potrebno ih je uvrstiti kako bi se postigli ciljevi projekta.

6. Ekonomska analiza 6.2. Kvantifikacija društvenih koristi 6.3. Ostali indirektni učinci

6.4. Diskontiranje procijenjenih troškova i koristi

6.5. Indikatori ekonomskih učinaka (Ekonomska stopa povrata ili neto sadašnja vrijednost projekta u monetarnim uvjetima)

KONTROLNA LISTA: Jesu li cijene ulaznih komponenti (inputa), uključujući i radne snage, uzimane u bruto iznosu,

uključujući izravne poreze? Jesu li subvencije i čisti transferi isključeni? Jesu li eksternalije uključene u analizu? U slučaju velikog broja stavki kojima se ne trguje, jesu li primijenjeni adekvatni konverzijski faktori

za svaki pojedini sektor? Jesu li primijenjene odgovarajuće plaće u sjeni (eng. shadow wages) u skladu s prirodom lokalnog

tržišta rada? Je li ekonomska neto sadašnja vrijednost pozitivna? Ako ne, postoje li važne nematerijalne koristi koje

treba razmotriti?

7. Procjena rizika

7.2. Simulacija najboljeg i najgoreg scenarija7.3. Procjena rizika7.4. Upravljanje i smanjenje rizika

KONTROLNA LISTA: Je li analiza osjetljivosti provedena za svaku pojedinu varijablu i po mogućnosti primjenjujući

prebacivanje vrijednosti? Je li kriterij očekivane vrijednosti bio korišten za procjenu učinka projekta? Jesu li metode smanjivanja razine pristranog optimizma primijenjene? Jesu li mjere ublažavanja rizika identificirane?

8. Zaključci i preporuke

Konačna procjena je li projekt izvediv, uz koje preduvjete i da li će u predloženoj formi ostvariti očekivane ciljeve. Predložiti alternative ako je potrebno. Predložiti dodatne aktivnosti ako je potrebno. Predstaviti detaljnu listu predstojećih aktivnosti, uključujući potreben dodatne analize i studije. Ukoliko je procjena da projekt nije održiv, obrazložiti.
