Details

The International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, invites qualified consulting firms to express interest in providing market and financial viability advisory services for a proposed Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae processing facility in Pakistan. The proposed facility would convert organic waste streams into insect protein, lipid oil, and frass fertilizer. The assignment will independently assess commercial feasibility, feedstock economics, demand, pricing, regulatory pathways, supply-chain arrangements, and financial viability. The study will consider a phased development plan comprising an approximately 100 tonnes-per-day pilot and scale-up to a maximum design capacity of 300 tonnes per day. A potential 1,000 tonnes-per-day expansion will be examined only as a later decision-gate scenario.

Procurement number: 0002024175. Expressions of interest are submitted through the World Bank Group's eProcure (RFx Now) portal, which requires vendor registration.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this defence & security opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
