Call for Expressions of Interest – Pre-Qualified Consultant Roster
- Career Category: Expression of Interest
- Location: Phnom Penh
To deliver these results, Cord regularly engages consultants to provide specialist expertise. This approach allows us to bring in targeted skills and experience when most needed, ensures flexibility in programme delivery, and maintains high-quality support to our partners and communities. Consultancies are usually short in nature and time-bound, with assignments typically ranging from 100–300 days spread over three years, aligned with the needs of specific programmes. Consultants engaged by Cord normally work closely with project staff, often alongside the Project Manager or Coordinator, to co-deliver or lead specific activities. These may include designing and facilitating specialised training programmes, developing IEC and training materials, providing coaching and mentoring support for skills development, delivering and maintaining Communities of Practice, and contributing to wider capacity-building initiatives identified through project baselines.
We are currently inviting applications from qualified consultants to be included in our Pre-Qualified Consultant Roster. This roster will facilitate timely and transparent procurement in line with Cord’s policies and donor requirements.
The call will be published on Cord's official website and relevant local platforms. The consultant selection process will adhere to internationally accepted standards of transparency, fairness, and accountability, drawing on guidance such as PRAG and other donor best practices to ensure merit-based evaluation, value for money, and full compliance with Cord’s safeguarding and ethical standards.
