Expression of Interest (EOI): Supply of equipment and tools at GIZ Rwanda (Deadline: 03/08/2025)
Reference number: 91189145
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.
About Energising Development (EnDev)
EnDev is a multi-donor, multi-implementer energy access programme currently financed by five donor countries: the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, the United Kingdom, Switzerland. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH acts as the lead implementing agency of the programme and cooperates closely with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) at the global level as well as other implementation partners at the country level.
EnDev Rwanda is one of the country projects under the umbrella of the global programme. The activities in Rwanda currently include four types of technologies: modern, needs-based and climate-friendly cooking technologies (higher-tier biomass stoves, eCooking), off-grid solar appliances.
Energising Development (EnDev) launched the Reducing climate impact of cooking in Rwanda through improved cooking energy systems (ReCIC) programme in 2020. This consists of a Multi-donor Action co-financed by the European Union, as part of the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA+) initiative and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
Through ReCIC, EnDev aims to set up a sustainable fuel production, dissemination chain for alternative fuels for households, productive use of energy and social institutions
Rwanda has made significant progress in promoting clean cooking solutions as part of its broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improve public health. However, the sourcing of alternative fuels for cooking in households, commercial institutions and social institutions without forgetting fuel testing remains heavily neglected. The consumers still rely on traditional cooking systems which contribute to deforestation, air pollution, and carbon emissions.
The Government of Rwanda, in alignment with its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Vision 2050, has set ambitious targets to transition towards cleaner cooking solutions. Several initiatives have focused on household-level interventions, but the commercial and social institutional cooking sector has received comparatively less attention. Restaurants, schools, factories which serve a growing population, require high-energy cooking solutions that are both efficient and cost-effective. However, the availability, affordability, and adoption of improved cooking fuel in the above-mentioned sectors remain limited due to various market barriers, including lack of awareness, financial constraints, and supply chain limitations.
The project “Reducing the Climate Impact of Cooking in Rwanda” aims to support in establishment of fuel production units hence addresses the challenges of inadequate supply and distribution of alternative fuels as well as testing. ReCIC will be contributing to the initiative of availing the access to the sustainable energy-efficient cooking fuels for households’ restaurants, schools and factories to ensure adequate distribution and supply chain.
GIZ-EnDev-ReCIC project would like to invite local companies to express their interest in supplying high-quality equipment, and tools. This equipment and tools shall support fuel producers’ fuels testing institutions to establish a sustainable fuel production unit and testing capabilities.
The selected company will be required to deliver items to Huye, Nyagatare, Kicukiro and Gasabo where fuel producers and testing institutions are located (details is described below). The supply period should not exceed 30 days starting from the contract signing.
