Payment Services Provider (PSP) Invitation for prequalification

Republic of Kenya

Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development

Department of Children's Services

Specific Procurement Notice

Invitation for prequalification

Payment Services Provider (PSP)

This invitation for prequalification follows the general procurement notice for this project that appeared in the Development Business No. WB1203-748 of 17 March, 2009 on-line and in the market.

The Republic of Kenya has received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA) toward the cost of the expansion of the Cash Transfer for Orphans and Vulnerable Children (CT-OVC) Program, and intends to apply part of the proceeds towards payments under the contract for a Payment Services Provider (PSP) function to deliver cash transfers to the beneficiary households.

The Department of Children Services within the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development intends to prequalify firms/ institutions for the PSP function.

The CT-OVC Program has been underway for the last four years, first with a pre-pilot and then with a pilot program. The overall objective of the CT-OVC Program is to "provide a social protection system through regular and predictable cash transfers to households living with O VC in order to encourage fostering and retention of OVC within their families and communities and to promote their human capital development".

The Program is presently being expanded and, by latest end of 2009, the Program is expected to be delivering cash transfers to a total of about 70,000 OVC households in 47 districts and to reach around 100,000 households by 2012. Payments to beneficiary households are to be made once every two months; each with cash transfers of K.Shs, 3,000 per household.

In the seven pilot districts payments are currently being made through the Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK) and in the 40 expanded districts payments are being made through the district treasury.

Efficiency of service delivery in a cash transfer program depends highly on the payment mechanism used to bring the cash to targeted households. In the light of lessons learned so far from the Program, it has been decided to phase out the use of the district treasury for the provision of payments.

For this reason, a payment services provider will be selected competitively to provide cash payments for all 47 program districts (with a gradual scale-up). The payment services provider contract aims to strengthen the program capacity to deliver the benefits in an effective, efficient and transparent way, including building social accountability mechanisms.

It is expected that the invitations for bid will be made in early November, 2009
Prequalification will be conducted through the procedures as specified in the World Bank's Guidelines: Procurement under IBRD Loans and IDA Credits, (May 2004, revised October 1, 2006) and is open to all bidders from eligible source countries as defined in the Guidelines.

Interested eligible bidders may obtain further information from, and inspect the prequalification documents, at the Department of Children Services at the address below during office hours, Monday-Friday 0900 - 1700 hours.

A complete set of prequalification documents in the English language may be purchased by interested bidders on the submission of a written application to the address below and upon payment of a nonrefundable fee of Ksh.5,000/- or the equivalent in a freely convertible currency.

The method of payment will be banker's cheque in favour of Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Development. Upon request, the document may be sent by courier service at the recipient's expense.

Applications for prequalification should be submitted in sealed and clearly marked envelopes and delivered to the address below not later than 1430hours on October 1st, 2009.

The Employer reserves the right to accept or reject late applications.
