MCC requires support from The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) to conduct a benchmarking assessment of the enabling environment for and government capacity to conduct public-private partnerships (PPPs) called “Infrascope” assessment (http://infrascope.eiu.com/) in two (2) MCC partner countries Mozambique and Kenya and in additional MCC newly eligible countries or provide updates to completed assessment. In FY18 when MCC commissioned 12 countries for Infrascope and in FY17 MCC commissioned 8 countries. Of which both were sole-sourced. The Infrascope assessment would be done according to the EIU’s proprietary analytical methodology and benchmarking process. The objectives of the requirement are as follows: (1) expand the universe of countries covered in the benchmark to make the benchmark more robust as a global public good and knowledge product; (2) increase MCC’s public profile in the PPP space by being able to place its logo on the Infrascope assessment along with the words “commissioned by MCC”, thus allowing MCC to cobrand the Infrascope assessment along with other multilateral development banks as noted further below; and (3) obtain country-level insights into the PPP enabling environment in MCC partners countries. Pricing under the Purchase Order has a ceiling amount of $250,000.00. The Purchase Order contains firm fixed prices for the period of performance and are EIUs standard pricing. Therefore, the fixed prices are deemed to be fair and reasonable.
