Subject: Request for consultancy services to study to guide the introduction of an environmental levy on the sale of lead (Pb) ammunition for use in the wildlife sector 1. You are hereby invited to submit technical and financial proposals for consultancy services to guide the introduction of an environmental levy on the sale of lead (Pb) ammunition for use in the wildlife sector for the Environmental Investment Fund of Namibia (EIF) which could form the basis for future negotiations and ultimately, a contract between you and the Environmental Investment Fund of Namibia (EIF). The consultancy is open to both individual consultants and consulting firms or consortia. 2. The purpose of this assignment is to: a) Estimate, on the best available information, the current use of lead ammunition in the wildlife sector per year, per type, make and calibre of ammunition, and including components where people load their own bullets; b) Obtain the current prices for the various kinds of lead ammunition. c) Determine the corresponding types of non-lead ammunition that would replace lead ammunition, and their price, including those from overseas and South African manufacturers/suppliers; d) Recommend an appropriate levy to be placed on lead ammunition (it can be different for different types and calibres) so that this income may be ring fenced to (a) cross subsidise the price of non-lead ammunition, (b) be used for an outreach, information sharing and education programme, and (c) fund ongoing research and monitoring of lead in the environment and impacts on human health; e) Recommend an implementation process that would allow the collection of the levy most efficiently and cost-effectively, aligned with existing methods as closely as feasible. f) Recommend simply, cost-effective monitoring systems to (i) track the change from lead to non-lead ammunition use in the wildlife sector, and (ii) track the income from the lead ammunition into the ring-fenced fund and the use of these funds for the three purposes outlined above. 3.
