INVITATION TO TENDER FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF JOB COMPETENCE CATALOGUE FOR FEDERAL MINISTRIES, DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES
Introduction
In line with the Federal Government commitment to transform the Federal Civil Service and rebuild the administrative and technical skill base of the Service, a major capacity building drive has been launched with support from the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to Mr. President on Millennium Development Goals (QSSAP-MDGs). One of the activities include the development of a comprehensive competence catalogue / job competence profiling project to ensure that all staff can discharge their responsibilities successfully, efficiently and safely at all times and in all locations. Development of Job Competence Catalogue is based on the assumption that Civil Service Performance will result from having the right people in the right jobs with the right skills and abilities. Ultimately, the Competency Catalogue that will be evolved will contribute to the official list of competencies required by the Federal Civil Service in order to attain its objectives and to deliver service to the Nigerian people. This project is planned to take place across the Federal Civil Service in the financial year 2010. In this regard, interested companies with requisite expertise in establishing libraries of skills, knowledge and attitude required for performance within an organization are invited to submit Tender Documents for the execution of the Job Competence Catalogue.
