REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
FOUR MARKET STUDIES IN THE CARIBBEAN
Background
The Canadian Hunger Foundation (CHF) is currently implementing a project in the Caribbean called Promotion of Regional Opportunities for Produce through Enterprises and Linkages (PROPEL) project. Funded by the Government of Canada through the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) and CHF, the aim is to increase the value of Caribbean fresh produce accessing high-value markets (HVM) in the Caribbean and internationally by CAD100 million 6 over six years.
CHF is requesting proposals from consultants to undertake four market studies: Barbados; OECS; Suriname; and Belize. The methodology for each study is similar, in order for PROPEL to analyze information across all studies. Individual Terms of Reference (ToR) for each have been prepared and are posted on the CHF website at: http://www.chf.ca/who-we-are/requests-for-proposals
Eligibility
The Request for Proposal (RfP) is open to both firms and individuals, with preference to those from the Caribbean region or Canada.
