Call for Tenders for the Supply and Delivery of Seeds and agricultural Kits

Call for Tenders for the Supply and Delivery of Seeds and agricultural Kits In response to increasing food insecurity driven by climate-related shocks, particularly the El Niño-induced drought, CEDES, in partnership with Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH Mozambique/Austria) and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), is implementing the project “Empowering Crisis-Affected Communities through Inclusive, Gender-Transformative and Climate-Resilient Food Security Solutions” in Sofala and Nampula Provinces, specifically in the

Localisation

districts of Buzi, Nhamatanda, and Meconta. These locations have been repeatedly affected by extreme weather events, including cyclones, floods, and droughts, which have significantly undermined agricultural production and household food security. Consecutive years of poor harvests, largely driven by El Niño-related drought conditions, have weakened the resilience of vulnerable households. As food stocks decline and purchasing power remains below average, affected families face increasing challenges in meeting their basic needs and recovering their livelihoods.The project aims to support 2,360 vulnerable households through the provision of food assistance, certified seeds, agricultural production inputs, and activities that promote the empowerment of women and persons with disabilities, while addressing gender-based violence and other forms of social exclusion. CEDES invites qualified and legally registered suppliers to submit bids to supply, pack, transport and deliver seeds and agricultural tool kits to targeted communities in Sofala (districts of Buzi and Nhamantada) and Nampula (Meconta district) Provinces.
