1. Introduction and Background
   The Central Bank of Somalia (CBS) is the monetary authority of the Federal Republic of
   Somalia and is responsible for maintaining monetary stability, financial sector oversight,
   national payment systems oversight, currency management, and safeguarding the stability and
   integrity of the national financial system.
   Over recent years, the Central Bank of Somalia has undertaken major modernization and
   institutional strengthening initiatives aimed at improving operational resilience, digital
   transformation, institutional governance, cybersecurity, and continuity of critical national
   financial operations.
   As Somalia’s financial ecosystem and banking infrastructure continue to expand, the Bank
   recognizes the strategic importance of developing a secure, resilient, sustainable and
   architecturally distinguished headquarters complex in Mogadishu. The new headquarters will
   serve as the Bank’s principal administrative, policy, operational and technology center and will
   constitute a critical national asset within Somalia’s financial architecture.

   This document is for CBS internal use only
   The proposed complex must integrate conventional central-bank office functions with highly
   secure cash operations, vaulting, currency processing and destruction facilities, mission-critical
   information technology infrastructure, security command functions, business-continuity
   capabilities and staff welfare facilities. The design must respond to Somalia’s environmental
   and operating conditions, including high ambient temperatures, dust and sand exposure, utility
   instability, limited specialist maintenance capacity and elevated physical-security
   requirements.
   CBS therefore seeks to engage an internationally qualified multidisciplinary consulting firm
   (the “Consultant”) to undertake a comprehensive feasibility study and provide masterplanning, architectural, engineering, security, operational, technology-integration and tenderdocumentation services for the new headquarters. The Consultant shall develop an
   implementable, costed and phased solution that meets CBS’s functional requirements and
   applicable international standards while remaining maintainable and locally executable.
2. Purpose of the Assignment
   The purpose of the assignment is to translate CBS’s institutional, operational, security and
   future-growth requirements into a complete and bankable development framework and design
   package for the new headquarters. The assignment shall establish the project’s technical,
   operational, environmental, financial and implementation feasibility and produce the planning,
   design, specifications, cost estimates and procurement documentation required to proceed to
   construction and systems integration stage.
