Under the contract, the short-term experts specified in the offer are to be assigned. If these experts are not named in the contract, short-term experts who have the required qualifications are to be assigned. As the short-term expert rates are lump- sum prices, experts with a higher expert month rate than specified in the contract may be assigned in individual cases. As a general rule, these increased costs should be offset by assigning short-term experts with a lower rate in other cases, as is usually the case in compensatory pricing. GIZ is currently reviewing its policy of standalone pools of short-term experts and its modes of contract placement to these pools, as they have in the recent past generated significantly more work for both GIZ and the consulting firms and often been difficult to coordinate effectively.
