Expression of Interest (EOI) Supply of Office Equipment

GIZ Rwanda

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been working in Rwanda for more than 40 years.

Rwanda is a country with a turbulent and, at times, tragic history, and the impact of the 1994 genocide is still felt today. Nevertheless, Rwanda has achieved progress at a number of levels since 2000. Stability, security, steady economic growth and low corruption are some of the key successes. The country is also regarded as a pioneer in Africa in environmental protection, digitalisation and gender equality.

Despite these encouraging developments, however, Rwanda is still a very poor country that continues to rely on international support. This support is in virtually all sectors and is coordinated by the Rwandan Government. As a reliable partner in an efficient task-sharing system, GIZ works in three priority areas on behalf of the German Government:

  • Economic development and employment
  • Governance and democracy
  • Digitalisation

Expression of Interest (EOI) Supply of Office Equipment

Reference number: 91190208 

Background 

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federally owned international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. The GIZ Office in Kigali covers GIZ’s portfolio in Rwanda and Burundi. GIZ Rwanda/Burundi implements projects on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, the European Union and other commissioning authorities in the following priority areas: Sustainable Economic Development; Good Governance; Climate, Energy and Sustainable Urban Development; Digitalization and Digital Economy; and regional projects in the Great Lakes Region.

GIZ, commissioned by BMZ, is implementing the project Sustainable Mechanization of Value Chains through Innovative, Gender-Sensitive Business Models in partnership with Germany Machinery Rings Foundation and Volkswagen. Funded by the i4Ag global fund under SI AGER, the project aims to improve access to mechanization services, enhancing the livelihoods and climate resilience of Rwandan smallholder farmers and SMEs.

As part of this initiative, GIZ’s Sustainable Mechanization (i4Ag) project, in collaboration with its partners, invites companies to express their interest in supplying office furniture for the Empowerment hub in Gashora. These Equipment will support Empowerment hub daily activities, including office work, trainings for farmers, and other activities that should facilitate the community and other stakeholders.

The materials purchased will be provided to beneficiaries on a lease agreement and will be handed over to the government and beneficiaries at the end of the project.

The selected company will be required to deliver the equipment to Bugesera/Gashora, where the project is being implemented, within no more than 15 days after signing the contract, unless formal extension of period is requested, all equipment should be new and matching the specifications provided.
