Business Ecosystem Project (BEP)

Added: Mar 07, 2017 10:07 am This is a pre-solicitation notice that the USAID Regional Contracting Office Kosovo (RCO) anticipates issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for support of the Business Ecosystem Project (BEP) in Macedonia. USAID/Kosovo/RCO intends to release the RFP on or around March 24, 2017. Anticipated contract type is to be determined (TBD) in the solicitation.

The project's overall goal is to increase SMEs' productivity, revenues and jobs. This project will work with business associations, chambers of commerce, financial institutions, training centers, lead firms willing to support the development of their value chain, and other supporting organizations that provide business services to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). It will also work with financial institutions to increase the available financing to SMEs. The project will thus try to improve the business services available to SMEs as well as financing opportunities.

The magnitude of this project is estimated to be between $6,000,000.00 and $6,500,000.00.

The solicitation and any amendments to the solicitation will be available through the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) (www.fedbizopps.gov) website.
