Financial advisory services under a panel arrangement.

Tenders are invited from suitably qualified and experienced entities for the provision of financial advisory services on an “as and when required basis” to the Department of the Treasury. The Treasury intends to establish a panel of preferred providers under a Deed of Agreement.

The Panel will assist Treasury in policy design and implementation, on the following basis:

• As particular policy issues arise, Treasury will choose one or more advisers from the Panel to assist with Treasury’s understanding of the issues, identifying the policy options, supplying quantitative modelling, and facilitating consultations/negotiations with stakeholders particularly the private sector.
  
• Through this process, Treasury would seek to build sustainable relationships with panel members in order to achieve a stable and reliable financial services advisory capability.

The successful Tenderer/s must have a readily available pool of professional, qualified and experienced personnel who have the capacity and capability to provide independent technical expertise to Treasury in one or more of the following areas:

• Capital markets, including hybrid and derivative securities.
  
• Credit risk/assessment.
  
• Quantitative analysis/financial modelling.
  
• Structured financing.
  
• Institutional structures including ownership, business models and capital management.
  
• Merger and acquisition arrangements and related financing instruments.
  
• Accounting policy advice relating to financial transactions.
