Project:          USAID Learns

Position:        Consultants – Certified Leadership Coaches

I. Background

Social Impact (SI) is implementing the USAID/Vietnam Learns Contract. The scope of the five-year project is to support USAID/Vietnam staff and implementing partners (IPs) to manage more efficient, effective, and transparent programs by improving: (1) USAID and IP’s capacity to achieve expected results; (2) USAID’s understanding and tracking of project performance; and (3) collaborating, learning, & adapting (CLA).

• As part of its capacity building support to USAID implementing partners, USAID Learns is developing a more robust cadre of consultants who are certified coaches that can provide coaching services to senior personnel of projects supported by USAID. Coaching services aim to build self-awareness, nurture individual leadership development, and level up the ability to lead learning-oriented, collaborative teams for high performance.
• The selected consultants will be contracted by Learns to deliver specific coaching services to individuals or teams. Selected consultants will work with senior managers from USAID implementing partners.

Prior to task implementation, the selected consultant will be offered orientation sessions by Learns to become familiar with Learns processes and expectations.

The level of engagement of each consultant is variable and assignment-dependent. The initial consulting agreement will be for up to six months with the possibility of extending throughout the life of the USAID Learns contract, ending in September 2024.

Under this solicitation, SI intends to select qualified consultants and issue blanket consulting agreements (BCAs) to establish specific pricing levels and parameters for ordering services in the future. This will allow SI to issue specific Work Orders, on an as-needed basis, for the procurement of services over the length of the BCA. Once the consultant agrees to the Work Order, s/he shall furnish the services described in the Work Order. SI is only obligated to pay for services ordered through Work Orders issued under the BCA and delivered by the consultant in accordance with the terms/conditions of the BCA.  At this time, the quantify of specific services to be requested under any BCA resulting from this Call for CVs are unknown. Specific quantities will depend on the needs of the project and individual Work Orders will be issued under the BCA as the need arises for additional services. This solicitation does not commit SI to award a contract nor to a specific level of engagement. 

II. Qualifications

The consultant must have the following qualifications: 

• Hold professional coaching credentials provided by the International Coaching Federation (ICF)
• At least 03 years of experience providing coaching services to individual clients, preferably for senior-level leaders
• Excellent professionalism and high ethical standards
• Professional proficiency in English

III.  Procedure for Matching Task to Consultant

Learns will provide written requests via email to the consultant (including time, place, duration, and any special needs) to determine potential fit. Exact expectations will be established at the Work Order level.
