Lebanon continues to face a protracted economic and financial crisis, which has been compounded by the aftershocks of conflict in late 2024, further undermining the food security of Lebanese residents and refugee populations. While hyperinflation has softened from its previous peaks, persistently high food prices remain a primary driver of food insecurity. As of September 2025, the year-on-year food inflation rate stood at 23.9%. Along with inflation, currency depreciation, income losses, damaged infrastructure, and significant cuts to humanitarian food assistance continue to negatively impact the capacity of different population groups to access food. According to the latest Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, it was projected that between July and October 2025, about 1.24 million people (including Lebanese, Syrian refugees, and Palestine refugees) would face acute food insecurity and be classified in IPC Phase 3 or above (Crisis or worse). This corresponds to 23% of the analyzed population, an increase from the 19% recorded in the October 2023 March 2024 period. This crisis has disproportionately affected the agricultural sector, exposing a systemic vulnerability: Lebanon's critical over-reliance on expensive, imported agricultural inputs, especially wheat seeds. This import dependency strains national food security, reduces farmer resilience, and hinders access to locally adapted, high-yield seed varieties. The Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI), the public institution mandated to produce certified seeds, is a critical national asset for food sovereignty. However, its national seed program has stalled due to a lack of public financing, creating a critical gap in the domestic food system. Within the framework of the Food Security Project, UNDP aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute (LARI) to enhance its operational efficiency, management systems, and service delivery. To achieve this, UNDP seeks to equip LARI staff with the necessary managerial, financial, and logistical skills through a comprehensive capacity-building programme. The training will target key personnel involved in management, finance, and operations, ensuring they acquire practical competencies to support effective project implementation, resource management, and decision-making. Accordingly, UNDP intends to engage a specialized consultant to design and deliver tailored training modules, conduct needs assessments, develop relevant materials, and evaluate the learning outcomes to ensure measurable improvements in LARI s institutional performance. Objectives The objective of this consultancy is to provide technical expertise to support the preparation of tender documents and the technical evaluation of agricultural machinery and spare parts procurement under the UNDP Food Security Project for LARI. Specifically, the assignment aims to ensure: Development of clear and compliant technical specifications aligned with LARI s needs and international standards Conduct of accurate and transparent technical evaluations of submitted bids Verification of quality, compliance, and compatibility of equipment and spare parts. Scope of work UNDP is seeking a Short-Term Individual Consultant to provide technical expertise for LARI s agricultural mechanization. The consultant will update spare parts tender documents to ensure fleet compatibility, conduct comprehensive technical evaluations for the procurement of new machinery, and evaluate bids for spare parts. The expert will ensure all technical specifications meet operational requirements and provide final recommendations to ensure the efficiency and sustainability of LARI s agricultural equipment. A. Update Spare Parts Tender Documents Review existing inventory lists and technical specifications for agricultural machinery spare parts at LARI stations. Update tender documents to ensure compatibility with specific make and models(e.g., tractors, harvesters). Refine the Bill of Quantities(BoQ) and compliance tables to meet international procurement standards. B. Technical Evaluation for Procurement of New Agriculture Machinery Review all technical bids submitted for the procurement of new agricultural equipment. Validate compliance against mandatory technical specifications(e.g., engine power, hydraulic capacity, safety features). Fill in the detailed technical evaluation reporting with clear justifications for the acceptance or rejection of each bid, in addition to the technical compliance sheet. C. Technical Evaluation for Procurement of Spare Parts Conduct a technical review of bids for spare parts for existing machinery. Verify the technical quality, part numbers, and suitability of the proposed items(OEM vs. equivalent). Assess the delivery timelines to ensure they align with LARI s operational seasons.
