Description

UNDP seeks a qualified and accredited credit rating agency to conduct an independent credit assessment of a prospective corporate issuer and its proposed green bond. The work includes issuer- and instrument-level analysis, due diligence, management and stakeholder engagement, financial modeling and stress testing, rating committee review, and issuance of indicative and final rating reports. The agency must apply its published methodologies and relevant regulatory requirements, and address governance, independence, conflicts of interest, quality assurance, and applicable environmental and social factors. A second-party opinion, green bond certification, and ongoing surveillance are outside the assignment scope. Deliverables include an inception note and work plan, due-diligence materials, management interviews and credit risk modeling, a rating committee presentation package, draft and signed indicative rating reports, and final rating confirmation. The assignment is expected to take three weeks. Proposals must include a technical offer and a separately submitted financial offer; the financial proposal is evaluated only after technical qualification.
