TENDER INVITATION Bid No. 7000012724 Consultancy for the selection and provision of Business Development Services to E-commerce companies. |
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), in collaboration with Expertise France (EF) and the Estonian Centre for International Development (EstDev), is implementing the EU-EAC DEEP programme, which focuses on Digital Economy, E-Commerce, E-Payment, and Public E-Services. A key area of the programme aims to enable, expand, improve and make more inclusive cross-border digital trade in East Africa, as well as between East Africa and Europe. This includes supporting promising companies to expand their cross border digital trade in the EAC. Digital trade represents a key driver to accelerate regional integration and economic growth in the EAC. Over the past years, significant regional initiatives have been undertaken to create an enabling environment for digital trade. These efforts include the development and implementation of the EAC E-Commerce Strategy, which, under Pillar 3: Improving Market Access Conditions, calls for the promotion of diverse and sustainable e-commerce business models aligned with prevailing market dynamics. Against this background, EAC–GIZ is seeking a qualified and experienced consultancy firm to design and implement a call for applications to select e-commerce companies and to provide tailored technical assistance, capacity building and business development services to the selected companies to expand their markets and grow their cross border digital trade. The intervention will be implemented in three phases: (i) call for applications and selection of companies, (ii) capacity and technical assistance needs assessment, and (iii) tailored support to improve business models and capacities based on individual company requirements. Qualified companies should show experience in ecosystem-building activities, design and implementation of technical assistance, capacity building and business development services activities; they should have a strong network of companies and experts in the East African Community, and they should have proven capacity to support companies for export to new markets. |
