TOR: Call for Expressions of Interest: SPRING Merit Pool of Short-Term Technical Assistance Consultants and Organisations, SPRING Program - Philippines

 About SPRING
The Social Protection, Inclusion and Gender Equality (SPRING) Program is Australia's flagship investment supporting the Government of the Philippines to strengthen social protection, gender equality, disability inclusion, Indigenous Peoples inclusion, and inclusive local service delivery. SPRING is implemented by Cowater International and works in partnership with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and other national and subnational government partners.
SPRING supports government-led reforms that strengthen policies, systems, institutions, capacities, and implementation arrangements so that social protection and inclusion systems are more gender-responsive, disability-inclusive, shock-responsive, climate-sensitive, locally led, and evidence-informed.

Purpose of this Expression of Interest
SPRING is refreshing and expanding its Merit Pool of pre-qualified short-term technical assistance (STA) consultants, advisers, researchers, facilitators, service providers, and organisations. The Merit Pool will help SPRING rapidly identify and engage suitably qualified expertise for assignments that arise across the program's remaining implementation period.
This call is intentionally framed broadly. SPRING's work is adaptive and demand-driven, and future technical needs may include both generalist development program skills and specialist technical expertise. Applicants are encouraged to indicate all areas in which they can credibly contribute, rather than limiting their response to a narrow technical category.
Membership in the Merit Pool means that an applicant has been pre-qualified for possible future opportunities. It does not guarantee work, a contract, or a minimum volume of assignments. When assignments arise, SPRING may invite pool members to submit a brief cover letter / proposal, confirm fee rate / financial proposal, confirm availability, provide additional documentation, or participate in a further selection process.

Who We Are Looking For
SPRING welcomes Expressions of Interest from national and international applicants, including individuals, consulting firms, research organisations, academic institutions, civil society organisations, non-government organisations, and other legally registered entities able to provide qualified experts for short-term assignments.
SPRING particularly encourages applications from Philippine-based individuals and organisations, including firms and local service providers with strong knowledge of the Philippine policy, governance, social protection, gender equality, disability inclusion, Indigenous Peoples inclusion, local government, and civil society context.

Eligibility and General Requirements
  • Relevant professional experience in one or more of the areas listed in this EOI.
  • Demonstrated ability to produce high-quality outputs within agreed timelines.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English; Filipino or relevant local language skills are an advantage for Philippines-based assignments.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with government, communities, civil society, development partners, and multidisciplinary teams.
  • Commitment to gender equality, disability inclusion, social inclusion, safeguarding, child protection, and prevention of sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment.
  • Experience working in or with the Philippines is highly desirable for assignments requiring local context knowledge.
