The International Rescue Committee (IRC), a humanitarian organization founded in 1933 under the auspices of Albert Einstein, is seeking to establish framework agreements with companies or consortia to provide venue rental and catering services in various regions of Burkina Faso. The IRC has been active in the country since April 2019, providing vital assistance to individuals affected by the food and nutrition crisis, as well as those impacted by conflict.
The IRC's operations in Burkina Faso focus on several key areas, including water and sanitation, nutrition, economic recovery, women's empowerment, child protection, and human rights. The organization works in partnership with local actors to promote peace, social cohesion, and community rehabilitation, with the goal of achieving sustainable development in conflict-affected or post-conflict areas. The IRC's efforts are concentrated in several regions, including Kadiogo, Kuilsé, Liptaako, Yaadga, Goulmou, Sourou, and Bankui.
The call for bids is divided into four lots, each covering a specific region. Lot 1 includes the Kadiogo and Kuilsé regions, while Lot 2 covers the Liptako region. Lot 3 encompasses the Yaadga region, and Lot 4 includes the Goulmou region. Companies or consortia interested in submitting bids can obtain the tender documents free of charge from September 24, 2026, at the IRC offices in the respective regions.
To be considered, bids must be submitted electronically to the address [email protected] by October 22, 2026, at 18:00 hours. The subject line of the email must clearly indicate the reference number, "RFP- Location de salle et restauration N° 06/SC/2026." It is essential for bidders to register and provide a valid email address to receive the tender documents.
The IRC emphasizes that no physical submissions will be accepted, and bids received after the deadline will not be considered. Bidders are required to sign the bid register at the IRC office, providing their company name, phone number, valid email address, and the date of bid submission. This ensures a transparent and organized process for all parties involved.
The IRC's initiative aims to establish reliable partnerships with local businesses to support its ongoing projects in Burkina Faso. By providing venue rental and catering services, selected companies will play a vital role in facilitating the IRC's humanitarian efforts across the country. The organization seeks to foster cooperation with Burkinabe companies to enhance its operational capacity and community outreach.
The deadline for bid submissions is fast approaching, and interested companies are encouraged to act promptly to ensure their participation in the process. The IRC's commitment to transparency and fair competition underscores its dedication to achieving its mission in Burkina Faso and supporting affected communities effectively.
