Invitation for Expressions of InterestIndefinite Delivery Contract for Investigation ServicesBackground The Asian Development Bank's (ADB) Office of the Auditor General is designated in ADB's Anticorruption Policy as the point of contact for reporting allegations of fraud and corruption in ADB-financed activities.

OAGI requires the services of qualified firms to assist in or perform on behalf of OAGI investigations of allegations of fraud and corruption. ADB intends to pre-qualify and retain up to three Investigative Firms to carry out investigations on allegations of fraud and corruption in ADB-financed activities. It is anticipated that the services required under this IDC will commence on 15 May 2008 and will continue for a period of 4 years. When required for a particular investigation work, ADB will request the Investigative Firms to submit an investigation proposal (including fees) to perform certain investigation work based on Terms of Reference (TOR). From the proposals, ADB identifies the most suitable firm to perform the Investigation Assignment through an Indefinite Delivery Contract Assignment (IDCA). For each successfully completed IDCA , the Investigative Firm will receive professional fees and out-of-pocket expenses (OPEs) as agreed with ADB. Fee rates would be established at the commencement of the IDC. Rates will be re-assessed in May 2009.

Refer to the Terms of Reference for detailed information regarding the nature of services to be provided.
