Establishing the Blue Economy Enterprise-RFP-PNG-2023-001

Dear Sir/ Madam

Greetings from the UNDP Papua New Guinea. 

Please be informed that UNDP PNG published a Request for Proposal (RFP) for provision of ESTABLISHING THE BLUE ECONOMY ENTERPRISE INCUBATION FACILITY IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA. The purpose of this assignment is to support the Investing in Coral Reefs and Blue Economy joint programme with the delivery of the ‘Blue Accelerator’ programme for the Blue Economy Enterprise Incubation Facility (BE-EIF) local hub in Kimbe Bay, West New Britain province. The service provider will be responsible for providing technical assistance to assist 5 women-led or women-focused businesses in the blue sector in scaling and increasing their capacity to provide transformative, sustainable livelihoods. This will include training on marketing and business planning, developing proposals to receive funding from the BE-EIF, and deploying international and national experts to provide thematic support. The service provider will be expected to develop business prospectuses, launch and lead a successful communications campaign around the accelerator, and assist the businesses in their ability to pitch to investors at “Blue Demo Day”. To support gender equality, the service provider will also collect gender-disaggregated data on the participants of their activities.

As UNDP has moved to an Oracle Cloud ERP (QUANTUM). Quantum is replacing the previous e-Tendering System for bidders to participate in business opportunities with UNDP. In order to facilitate the transition and better collaborate on the move to Quantum, UNDP PNG Procurement Unit will conduct a training session on Quantum for the bidders during the pre-proposal meeting.

The Pre-Proposal meeting will be held on: 17th April 2023 3.30 PM to 5.00 PM. (PNG Local Time) [GMT+10 HRS]
