regarding their availability and willingness to take on the assignment. The client will be informed of

the name or names or those consultants identified as having the best fit profile for the individual

consultants who it considers to have the appropriate experience and expertise for the assignment. It

must be noted that the consulting contract will be made between the client and BACEC. BACEC will

have a separate contract for services with its consultants.
