Title : Supply and Installation of the Solar-powered Irrigation System for Climate-smart agriculture in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia
Procurement No. : 100012170
Process : RFP
Description : GGGI Ethiopia Country Office invites eligible suppliers to submit their bids for the supply and installation of solar-powered Irrigation systems for climate-smart agriculture in the Central Rift Valley of Ethiopia

Important note: bidders should either be based in Ethiopia or have a partnership with Ethiopia society

PROJECT BACKGROUND:
Rain-fed agriculture remains the main irrigation practice in the country, while the world’s climate is changing, and rains do not come on time and are becoming erratic. This causes limited food production for the ever-increasing population where women and children are the most affected groups of the society. It is also worth noting that Ethiopia has abundant renewable energy (RE) resources. The average solar insolation is estimated to be 5.5 kWh/m2/day. Solar insolation is maximum during the dry season which presents an opportunity to pump with the maximum solar insolation energy and irrigate the land for agricultural purposes.
The objective of the project is to support Ethiopia in having more climate-resilient rural communities, access to modern energy, a more stable productivity and food supply, clean and energy-efficient alternative to diesel-run irrigation pumps, efficient use of water through landscape rehabilitation, thus contributing to poverty alleviation, creation of green jobs, improved energy access, improved nutrition, and health, as well as reduced GHG emissions.

SCOPE OF WORK, SUPPLIES, and SERVICES:
The major Goods and Services are listed below:
• Procurement, supply, installation, and handover of the PV module and PV module structure, mounting kit, and accessories
• Procurement, supply, installation, and handover of the pump motor set, control board, cables, and all accessories
• Procurement, supply, installation, and handover of all accessories (cables, inverters, auxiliaries) to fulfill the operation needs of the system
