The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Center of the Philippines, in collaboration with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), has invited stakeholders to participate in a market sounding activity for the Iloilo-Capiz-Aklan Expressway (ICAEx) project.

The pre-procurement activities aim to assess the level of interest among potential Consultants in undertaking the consulting assignment, based on the project scope and estimated cost of the Project Preparation and Transaction Advisory (PPTA) services. The intended outcomes of this process include:

• Identifying the essential technical requirements, studies, and reports needed for the Project;

• Establishing a reasonable cost estimate for the consulting services.

• Gaining insights into the key factors that influence Consultants' decisions to participate in the assignment, and

• Refining the Terms of Reference (TOR) and cost estimate for a potential PDMF-funded consulting engagement.

Scope of PDMF Support includes:

1. Conducting the feasibility study (FS) and formulating the project structure;
2. Supporting the acquisition of all necessary government approvals;
3. Assisting in obtaining the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) and Geological Review Report (GRR);
4. Drafting tender documents and providing support throughout the PPP bidding process; and
5. Offering advisory and support services after the signing of the PPP contract.
