GIZ Seeks Consultant for NamRA Job Evaluation and Salary Review

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is seeking a consultancy firm to conduct a comprehensive job analysis and evaluation exercise for all approved positions at the Namibia Revenue Agency (NamRA). This initiative falls under the Sustainable Development Goals Initiative III. The goal is to review NamRA's organisational structure, standardise job descriptions, and establish an updated grading framework.

The appointed consultant will review existing job descriptions, assess reporting structures, identify skills and qualification requirements, and apply an objective job evaluation methodology to determine appropriate grades for positions across the agency. The consultancy will also include internal and external remuneration benchmarking. This will involve making recommendations on salary scales, salary bands, career progression, and the affordability of proposed remuneration arrangements.

The consultancy team will comprise a team leader, a taxation expert, and a customs and excise specialist, with a combined allocation of 140 expert days. The assignment is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 July 2027. The successful bidder will also be responsible for training NamRA's Human Capital and Strategy personnel, managers, and executives. This aims to strengthen the agency's internal capacity to manage future job evaluations and grading reviews.

GIZ has made provision for a €5,900 flexible remuneration budget, subject to prior written approval, and a separate workshop budget of €3,000. The successful contractor will also provide six months of post-project support to NamRA. This includes technical guidance on the application of the new grading framework and evaluation methodology.

The procurement is for consultancy services under GIZ's terms of reference. The financial proposal must be submitted as a fixed lump-sum price covering all relevant costs. This includes professional fees and travel expenses, with the underlying daily rate also provided.

The GIZ's initiative aims to enhance NamRA's organisational structure and compensation framework. By standardising job descriptions and establishing an updated grading framework, the agency can better align its operations with best practices. This will improve employee satisfaction and organisational efficiency.

Interested consultancy firms can submit their bids for the tender. The successful bidder will play a crucial role in shaping NamRA's future organisational structure and compensation framework. The project's outcome is expected to have a lasting impact on the agency's operations and employee relations.
