How they buy

Across the humanitarian & emergency relief notices we currently hold for Canada, the most common form is the request for proposal. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Humanitarian procurement runs on a different clock from development contracting: framework agreements and pre-qualified supplier rosters are set up in advance precisely so that awards can be made in days when a crisis breaks. Getting onto those rosters is usually the real route into this market. Specifications for relief items follow published standards — agency item catalogues and the Sphere minimum standards — and deviation is rejected rather than negotiated. Delivery terms, lead times and the ability to reach insecure or landlocked locations often outweigh unit price in evaluation, and contracts carry strict obligations on neutrality, on screening against sanctions lists, and on the conduct of staff in affected communities.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
