Request for Proposal for provision of supply, installation, testing and commissioning of solar pumping systems

FAO is seeking proposals for solar pumping systems in Egypt, covering their supply as well as installation, testing and commissioning. The notice is a request for proposal published through UNGM and sits in the energy sector. Beyond the equipment category and the country of delivery, the published fields give a bidder very little to work with: there is no indication of how many systems are wanted, where in Egypt they are to be sited, what capacity or specification they must meet, or how long the contract would run. No budget, payment terms or contract form is indicated either. What the fields do establish is that this is an equipment and works contract rather than a consultancy, and that the winner would carry responsibility for the systems through to commissioning.
