Terms of Reference Short-Term Consultancy to Review the Baseline Assessment of the Administration of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures, Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), And Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBS), and to Propose Tools and Frameworks for Streamlining their Administration within SACU
SACU/042/2027/PB
Closing Date: 30 Oct 2026 04:00 PM
The purpose of the baseline study is to assess the existing systems, procedures, tools, and institutional frameworks used across SACU Member States for the administration and implementation of Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures, Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), and Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs). The study will identify gaps, challenges, and opportunities for improvement, develop evidence-based recommendations to streamline and modernise the administration of SPS, TBT, and NTB measures, and design harmonised tools and frameworks that enhance efficiency, strengthen regulatory coordination, and facilitate cross-border trade within the SACU region. The key objectives of the study are, to:
(a) Assess the current systems, procedures, tools, and institutional arrangements used by SACU Member States to administer SPS, TBT, and NTB measures.
(b) Identify operational gaps, inefficiencies, duplications, and inconsistencies that increase trade costs and cause delays across borders.
(c) Evaluate the level of harmonisation and interoperability with SACU instruments, international standards, and regional trade agreements.
(d) Determine readiness for digitalisation, including automated workflows, risk based controls, and electronic SPS/TBT certification.
(e) Recommend tools, frameworks, and a phased implementation roadmap to streamline administrative and implementation processes and improve border efficiency.
