Prequalification instructions
Introduction
FSD Africa hereinafter referred as “Procuring Entity” intends to pre-qualify firms for the provision of goods, services, works and consultancy.
FSD Africa is a specialist development agency established in 2012 by the UK Government working to make finance work for Africa’s future. We work on the ground in over 30 African countries to mobilise “green plus” finance that will power economic and social development while delivering environmental gains and building Africa’s resilience. We work on policy and regulatory reform, capacity strengthening and improving financial infrastructure, and addressing systemic challenges in Africa’s financial markets to spark large-scale and long-term change.
Prequalification is open to eligible firms, individuals and voluntarily formed joint ventures as indicated in the instructions to firms.
Sustainable procurement at FSD Africa
FSD Africa has been intentional about incorporating sustainable procurement practices in its initiatives. To
this end, we encourage suppliers to consider adopting ESG best practices in the delivery of both goods and
services.
FSD Africa views sustainable procurement as prioritising the procurement of products and services that
have the lowest environmental and ethical impact and the most positive social results, while still achieving
the best overall value. It is about embedding relevant sustainability considerations into processes for
selecting services and goods, alongside traditional considerations like price, quality, service and technical
specifications. In practice, this means considering sustainability in every stage of purchasing services or
products.
Pre-qualification objective
The main objective of this exercise is to pre-qualify firms to supply goods/services and consultancy under relevant tenders/quotations and proposals as and when required. Interested suppliers are invited to apply for pre-qualification, indicating the category of goods, works, services or consultancy they wish to be registered in.
Existing registered suppliers are required to re-apply.
