FAQ (updated on 22/07/2026)

1) Have you evaluated the number of expertise days required in order to fulfil the different objectives of the mission, and/or estimated the corresponding budget?

The amount of the contract depends on the prices offered by the selected candidate.
For information purposes only, Expertise France has pre-identified a maximum budget of €21,000.00 for this contract. However, it is up to the bidders to submit the most competitive offer possible.

2) Regarding the delegation: how big will it be? What will be the profile of the Sri.Lankan members (I assume, they will already have some strong technical knowledge on EIPs?)

At this stage, it is considered that the delegation will comprise 12 participants, including representatives from the Ministry of Industries and Entrepreneurship Development (4), Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (2), Ministry of Environment (1), Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (1), private industrial park operators (2), and the EU Green Recovery Facility (2). The delegation will include senior government officials, potentially including one Ministry Secretary. Participants are expected to have a general understanding of Eco-Industrial Park (EIP) concepts; however, most will not have advanced technical expertise in the subject.

3) Regarding the site-visits: what are your criteria to select the EIPs? 

The selection criteria should be aligned with the exposure requirements and learning objectives identified under the TOR, with the detailed criteria to be further refined during the inception phase.
