10000073-Proofreading and editing of GIZ central project evaluations

The tender seeks to establish a framework agreement with one contractor for the provision of professional proofreading and editing services in English, French, and Spanish. The services will support the finalisation of evaluation reports prepared within GIZ"s central project evaluation system. The contractor will be responsible for reviewing reports of usually around 50 pages each, and in some cases up to 90 pages, to ensure high linguistic and formal quality. This includes correcting language, style, consistency, and formatting in line with the applicable report-writing guidelines and annotated templates provided by GIZ. The aim is to deliver publication-ready texts that are clear, reader-friendly, and consistent in structure and presentation. Assignments will be called off under the framework agreement over its term as reports become available. Each assignment must be completed within three weeks of receipt. The contractor is expected to organise reliable expert capacity, including backstopping arrangements where necessary, to ensure uninterrupted service delivery. Edited reports must be submitted in track changes mode, allowing GIZ and report authors to review suggested revisions efficiently and avoid multiple revision rounds.
