GOVERNMENT OF SIERRA LEONE MINISTRY OF FINANCE REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (CONSULTING SERVICES – FIRMS SELECTION) Country: Sierra Leone Name of Project: Resilient Urban Sierra Leone Project - RUSLP Grant No.: IDA-D8420 Project ID: 168608 Date of Issue: 20th May 2026 Assignment Title: Consulting Services for a Firm to Rollout the Municipal Property Tax System (MPTS) in Bo and Koidu New Sembehun City Councils Reference No.: SL-MOF-550138-CS-QCBS I.0 BACKGROUND The Government of Sierra Leone, through the Ministry of Finance (MOF), is implementing the Resilient Urban Sierra Leone Project (RUSLP) to improve urban management, strengthen service delivery, and enhance disaster preparedness in key urban centers. The project is financed by a US$50 million IDA grant and US$6.73 million GEF co-financing. To ensure strong alignment with decentralization reforms, the Project Management Unit is housed within the Fiscal Decentralization Division (FDD). RUSLP supports the Western Area and all six secondary cities, as well as central government institutions responsible for land management, local governance, and environmental resilience. The project development objective (PDO) of the RUSLP is to “improve integrated urban management, service delivery, and disaster emergency management in Western Area and secondary cities of Sierra Leone”. The PDO will be achieved through the following three main components: (1) Institutional Capacity Development in Integrated Urban Management; (2) Resilient Municipal Infrastructure Investment and Urban Greening; and (3) Emergency Management Institutional and Capacity Development. Component 1 has the following two subcomponents: a. Strengthening Integrated Urban Planning and Spatial data Infrastructure; and b. Upgrading Urban Property Tax Administration and System. A core element of the support under subcomponent 1b is the modernization of municipal property tax administration, which remains the most viable and predictable source of own-source revenue (OSR) for local councils and is essential for funding urban services. Historically, property tax administration relied on outdated cadastres, manual processes, and limited digital systems. To address these constraints, the World Bank, under the RUSLP, is supporting the Government in upgrading the Municipal Property Tax System (MPTS), an integrated platform combining: • MOPTAX 2.0 (a mobile/web-based property tax software), • The Central Government Monitoring and Reporting System (CGMRS), and • Integration with the council’s upgrade web-based accounting software, PFM Smart, through the X-Road platform. The first deployment of the upgraded system took place in Kenema City Council (KCC), where the pilot demonstrated clear gains in property discovery, valuation accuracy, billing efficiency, and digital payments. The experience confirmed the feasibility of scaling the system nationally. Building on this momentum, the Government now intends to roll out the integrated MPTS in Bo City Council (BCC) and Koidu New Sembehun City Council (KNSCC) as the next step in the national rollout. These councils are priority locations due to their rapid growth and readiness for reform. Successful deployment in Bo and Koidu will broaden the national tax base, strengthen fiscal autonomy, and improve service delivery while laying the foundation for extending the system to all 22 local councils. This assignment will be delivered by a Consulting Firm in fifteen months through a close collaboration with Baloosoft (the developers of MOPTAX and CGMRS), MOF (through its Fiscal Decentralisation Division – FDD), Ministry of Local Government and Community Affairs (MLGCA), the two beneficiary councils, and relevant ministries. The implementation will draw on lessons learnt by the World Bank, MOF, MLGCA, and Baloosoft from Kenema and earlier reforms in Freetown and Makeni. The rollout is central to achieving RUSLP’s development objective of improving integrated urban management and enhancing the ability of local governments to mobilize and manage their own revenues. 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT 2.1 Overall Objective The assignment aims to help MOF/FDD and the two beneficiary councils—Bo and Koidu—fully deploy, operationalize, and institutionalize the Municipal Property Tax System (MPTS). This includes supporting the full Property Tax Life Cycle (PTLC) so that each council has: • an accurate, updatable property cadastre; • a transparent, defensible valuation system; • automated billing and demand notices; • integrated digital payment channels; and • the capacity to manage the system independently. The firm will guide both councils from readiness assessment through go-live and provide embedded post-deployment support to ensure sustainability. 2.2 Specific Objectives • Establish a reliable property information base – Build a complete, georeferenced property roll using RUSLP acquired LiDAR data, updated with satellite imagery where necessary, and field surveys. • Strengthen valuation capacity – Apply a standardized point-based valuation model, conduct a rental survey, and produce council-approved valuation tables and a Rate Book. • Deploy MOPTAX 2.0 – Configure, populate, test, and operationalize the system for discovery, assessment, billing, reporting, compliance, and reconciliation. • Integrate with national digital systems – Ensure seamless data exchange between MOPTAX, CGMRS, and integration with the Government Service Bus (GSB). • Modernize billing and delivery processes – Automate bill generation, create print-ready RDN files, and establish tracking systems and functioning customer service/appeals desks. • Enable secure digital payments – Integrate at least one bank and one mobile money provider and support councils in reconciliation and public communication. • Build sustainable in-house institutional capacity – Embed technical staff, provide hands-on training and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and equip councils to manage all PTLC tasks independently. • Strengthen long-term sustainability and governance – Support development of data governance policies, cybersecurity practices, update routines, and technical support mechanisms. 3.0 SCOPE OF WORK AND METHODOLOGY The Consulting Firm will support the Ministry of Finance (FDD/DFMST) and the two beneficiary councils, Bo City Council (BCC) and Koidu New Sembehun City Council (KNSCC) to plan, deploy, operationalize, and sustain the Municipal Property Tax System (MPTS) across all stages of the Property Tax Life Cycle (PTLC). The rollout will be delivered in parallel in both councils, with continuous on-site presence and close coordination with Baloosoft, under arrangements defined by MOF. 3.1 Guiding Principles • End-to-End PTLC Delivery: Support all stages—from mapping and discovery through valuation, billing, digital payments, and post-reform support. • Parallel Rollout: Maintain simultaneous progress in Bo and Koidu using shared leadership and dedicated field teams. • Evidence-Based Methods: All valuation and assessment decisions must be data-driven and validated with councils. • Coordination with Baloosoft: Joint planning for configuration, API development, integration, and UAT. • Capacity Transfer: Embed staff within councils and deliver structured on-the-job training and handover. • Legal & Data Governance Compliance: delivery of the assignment must conform to the Local Government Act 2022, PFM Act 2016, and Property Tax Guidelines 2021, relevant sections of the National Country Planning Act 2025, and aligned with the goal and aspirations of the government’s Fiscal Decentralization Policy and Strategy 2025, and the emerging national interoperability standards, including the Government Service Bus (GSB). The Resilient Urban Sierra Leone Project Management Unit now invites eligible firms to indicate their interest in providing the above-mentioned package of service. The consulting firm/organization should be able to demonstrate the following qualifications, skills and competencies at the organizational level. 4.0. TEAM COMPOSITION & QUALIFICATIONS The firm must demonstrate strong experience in municipal taxation, data systems, and digital reform, with particular familiarity working with local councils in Sierra Leone; clear understanding of socioeconomic factors, culture, and local political dynamics. 4.1 Specific Requirements of the Firm • Proven experience supporting local councils on similar assignments. • Experience with MOPTAX 2.0 is a major advantage. • Ability to show how its methodology will enable knowledge transfer to councils and MOF/FDD. • A clear sequencing of activities and staffing plan to support parallel rollout in Bo and Koidu. • At least 10 years in core business operations. • At least 5 years delivering ICT, software deployment, data analytics, or large-scale data collection. • Successful completion of two recent digital transformation projects, preferably government related. • Experience conducting primary data collection or complex statistical analysis for government. • A team capable of software testing, ICT deployment, and analytics. • Advantageous: staff certified or experienced in Python, machine learning, GIS, ArcGIS, big data tools.

| Project Fiduciary Management Unit –PFMU 13 Howe Street Freetown Sierra Leone | Tel: (+232-76-672-186) Email: [email protected] GOVERNMENT OF SIERRA LEONE REQUEST FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST (CONSULTING SERVICES) Country: Sierra Leone Name of Project: Accountable Governance for Basic Service Delivery Project Grant No.: D8380-SL Project ID: P172492 Issue date: 2nd March 2026 Assignment Title: Hiring an individual consultant to support the preparation of a Local Developments Grants sub-projects’ Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manual Reference No: SL-MOF-534182-CS-INDV • Background 1.1 About the AGBSD Project The Government of Sierra Leone through the Ministry of Finance received grant financing from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank for the implementation of an AGBSDP (P172492). The estimated cost of the project is US$40.0 Million and will be implemented within six (6) year’s period. Its Development Objective (PDO) is: “to improve resource management, transparency and accountability of government systems for enabling the delivery of local development projects and basic services”. The Project has three broader components, most of which have other sub-components. Component 1: Systems and skills for local services delivery (central and local levels) and Social Accountability. Component 2: Local Development Financing; and Component 3: Project Management and Implementation Support. • • About the Local Development Grant A key sub-component of the AGBSDP is component 2.1, the Local Development Grant which is managed by a dedicated Grant Management Team under the leadership of the Fiscal Decentralization Division in the Ministry of Finance. Through a four LDG round framework, funds are directly made available to District Councils as development grants to help them successfully undertake small-scale capital investment projects and poverty reduction, particularly related to infrastructure improvements in accordance with their development plans. Through the LDG, 29 subprojects (mainly schools, health and public service facilities) were implemented in Round one, while implementation of 33 similar subprojects in Round 2 near completion. • • About the Assignment At the completion of the LDG round one implementation, a joint field support mission comprising GMT/PMU/FDD & World Bank was conducted in January/February 2024 where implementation status of R1 LDG subprojects were discussed including planning for subsequent LDG rounds. While there was remarkable progress in the implementation of subprojects, a foreseeable risk noted by the team anchors on the useful lives of the LDG sub-projects owing to fears that they may be stunted by inadequate or lack of Operations and Maintenance (O&M). Standardized O&M plans are yet to be in place and knowledge based on the principles and practice of O&M remains low among LC staff. Consequently, the need to practicalize the concept and uphold the practice of O&M into the LDG framework consistent with the GIM was reiterated and later reflected in the June 3-14th 2024 Aide Memoir Agreed Actions. In a bid to ameliorate the envisaged risk factor on the sustainability of LDG subprojects, the need to underscore the development of a user-friendly operation and maintenance manual including its roll out was articulated by the GMT in its approved AWP 2025 activities. Based on this foundation, the Grants Management Team-AGBSDP is submitting these Terms of Reference for the recruitment of an individual consultant (National) to prepare a comprehensive Local Development Grants subprojects’ Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manual that will serve as a useful tool in fostering effective management and upkeep of LDG facilities. The activity will also require printing and rolling-out of the O&M Manual to 15 District Councils across Sierra Leone. The O&M Manual is expected to serve as a guiding document for local councils, facility managers, and community representatives to ensure that the LDG supported facilities remain functional, well-maintained, and beneficial to the communities over time. • Expected task and Objective The overarching objective of this activity is to recruit a consultant that will develop a comprehensive Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Manual satisfactory to the Association and FDD/GMT that will guide stakeholders in the effective management and up keeping of LDG completed subprojects- comprising schools, health and other public service facilities, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities, furniture and solar energy systems for lighting and water pumping. The O&M manual should align with relevant national policies on public assets, as well as the recently established guidelines for local council operations supported by JICA. Specifically, the consultant is required to perform the following tasks: • Inception and Scoping • Review the national policy and institutional framework for decentralization, local governance, and public asset management (e.g., Local Government Act, Education Act, Health Service Delivery Guidelines, Market Management By-laws, Energy Sector O&M standards). • Map roles and responsibilities of key actors (Local Councils, sector MDAs, SMCs, HMCs, Facility Managers, community groups, etc.). • Conduct an inception meeting with the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development (MLGRD), Ministry of Finance (MoF), Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE), Ministry of Health (MoH), and other stakeholders to validate scope and expectations. • Prepare an Inception Report detailing the methodology, work plan, and outline of the guidelines. • Situational Assessment • Conduct desk review, if there are any, of existing policies or guidelines concerning the maintenance of public facilities at the local level in the relevant sectors • Conduct a field assessment across selected districts and local councils to understand: • Current O&M practices for schools, health centers, markets, and energy stations. • Existing funding mechanisms (local council budgets, user fees, community contributions). • Maintenance scheduling and responsiveness. • Gaps in accountability, technical capacity, and coordination. • Review past or ongoing projects (e.g., education infrastructure, Basic Service Delivery Project, local council grants, or donor-funded programs with O&M components). • Identify challenges (e.g., unclear ownership, insufficient budget lines, weak enforcement, lack of preventive maintenance planning). • • • Stakeholder Consultations • Facilitate targeted consultations and focus groups with: • At least 8 District Local Councils and their Works/Engineering and Finance Departments. • At least 30% of Round 1 and 30% of Round 2 School Management Committees (SMCs), At least 30% of Round 1 and 30% of Round 2 Health Facility Management Committees (HFMCs). • LDG round 1 and 2 Market managers, • LDG Subprojects solar energy station operators • Community users of the selected facilities. • Work with stakeholders like MoPED to ensure that climate related considerations form part of the O&M Manual and that the recommendation and guideline is aligned on relevant issues. • Hold validation workshops at district and regional levels to gather practical inputs and lessons from the field. • • • Policy and Institutional Framework Design • Define clear roles, responsibilities, and coordination mechanisms between: • Local Councils, sector MDAs, and community management structures. • Propose an institutional structure for O&M planning, budgeting, execution, and monitoring at the local level. • Integrate O&M into the Local Council Development and Service Delivery Planning Framework. • Development of the O&M Guidelines • Draft comprehensive guidelines are structured around: • Asset registration and inventory management • Preventive and corrective maintenance schedules • Budgeting and financing arrangements (e.g., earmarked O&M funds, user fees, grants) • Procurement and contracting of maintenance services • Roles and accountability of SMCs, HFMCs, and market/energy facility managers • Reporting, monitoring, and performance indicators • Gender, inclusion, and community engagement aspects • Include templates for maintenance checklists, reporting formats, and inspection logs. • Financial and Sustainability Framework • Develop costing and financing models for routine and periodic maintenance. • Identify potential funding sources (local grants, central transfers, user fees, PPP arrangements). • Propose a financial management and transparency mechanism for O&M funds • Capacity Building and Implementation Planning • Design a training and capacity development plan for: • Local council engineers, finance officers, and facility managers. • School and health facility committees. • Develop training materials and manuals tailored to each type of facility. • Outline an implementation road map and a monitoring & evaluation framework. • Validation and Finalization • Present the draft guidelines at two regional-level validation workshops for feedback to stakeholders and end users of the Manual • Revise and finalize the policy/guidelines incorporating stakeholder input. • Prepare a rollout and dissemination plan (including simplified versions for local councils and communities). • Required Qualification and Professional Experience The Individual consultant must be a Sierra Leonean National with the following academic and related professional experience requirements specific to the assignment: 3.1.
