Enterprise and Supplier Development Feasibility Study NEW

The National Research Foundation (NRF) is inviting proposals from qualified Enterprise and Supplier Development (ESD) experts to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study for a structured ESD program. The objective of this study is to assess the current landscape of supplier development within the NRF and to identify opportunities for enhancing supplier capabilities, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainable economic growth. The successful candidate will be expected to provide insights into best practices, potential challenges, and strategic recommendations tailored to the NRF's unique operational context.

The scope of work includes a thorough analysis of existing supplier relationships, evaluation of potential suppliers, and the development of a structured framework for the ESD program. The expert will also be responsible for engaging with stakeholders, conducting workshops, and delivering a final report that outlines actionable strategies and measurable outcomes. This initiative is crucial for the NRF as it seeks to strengthen its supply chain and contribute to broader economic development goals in South Africa.

By participating in this tender, businesses will have the opportunity to contribute to a significant program that not only aims to uplift local suppliers but also aligns with national objectives of economic empowerment and transformation. The ESD program is expected to create a more inclusive supply chain, ultimately benefiting the NRF and its partners.
