ContourGlobal is an international power generation company with approximately 4 000 MW in operation or under construction in 21 countries on 4 continents. ContourGlobal's 1 818 employees manage, own and operate a portfolio of 58 power plants utilizing a wide range of fuel types and technologies including renewable energy production from hydro-electric, wind and solar resources as well as an extensive fleet of conventionally powered thermal power plants.
In December 2015, ContourGlobal and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Kosovo signed a contract on the construction of the Project. The investment is a significant step for the development of the young democracy in the Southern Balkans. The Project once fully operating will bring stable energy supply, significantly lower pollution, economic growth and jobs. It will reduce the country's dependence on unreliable and unpredictable energy imports. Due to Kosovo's lack of alternative fuel resources, the Project will help reduce costs and provide affordable energy supply.
The scope of the present procurement notice aims to select an Owners Engineer to support the full project cycle through commercial operations, including the development, design, financing, supply, construction and commissioning of the Project.
The selection process will be carried out in accordance with World Bank Guidelines for Selection and Employment of Consultants (‘WB Guidelines’), following Standard Procurement Documentation and will be open to all eligible consultants.

Eligibility requirements: As per procurement notice.
