Procurement No. : 1000ZM-01
Process : RFQ
Description : GGGI is inviting eligible suppliers and service providers to submit their quotations for the following scope of work:

PROJECT BACKGROUND:
GGGI supports the Government of Zambia in its efforts to tackle soil acidity that leads to significant yield losses in agriculture while driving deforestation and increasing use of inorganic fertilizer. The objective of the collaboration is to stepwise establish a commercial local lime supply chain for smallholder farmers at the large scale in Zambia by implementing a liming policy framework that shall help make lime better affordable for smallholder farmers by allowing for phased payments while aggregating and coordinating lime demand to create stable conditions for lime suppliers. During the pilot phase, the liming policy framework is tested in Eastern and Central Provinces of Zambia. GGGI collaborates with agrodealers and harvest off-taking companies (hereinafter referred to as “SMEs”) who assess farmers’ demand for lime based on which GGGI will procure accordingly. The lime shall be delivered to SMEs, from which farmers can collect it according to their respective orders.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT
GGGI will contract Framework Agreements with up to four successful Service Providers, based on which GGGI will issue sub-orders to specific delivery locations. Therefore, the services as part of the TOR for this Request for Quotations (RFQ) include 1) the production/sourcing of agricultural lime and 2) the transport of lime to specified delivery locations.

For further details on the Specifications, please refer to the RFQ Document available under the published Document Set.
