1.2 Objective of the RFP

The purpose of this RFP process is to select a firm that will:

• Be capable of providing quality products and services in a timely manner, demonstrating value for money;

• Provide the CCREEE with professional and responsive support;

• Work in a cooperative manner with the CCREEE, isflexible, and innovative in providing quality products and services.

1.3 Background

The Caribbean Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (CCREEE) is an institution of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), established in the framework of the Global Network of Regional Sustainable Energy Centres (i.e. the GN-SEC) and its sub-network for small island developing states (SIDS) in Africa, the Caribbean, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. The CCREEE is the implementation hub for sustainable energy activities and projects within the CARICOM region. The CCREEE was operationalised with the signing and ratification of the CCREEE legal agreement in May 2018.

The CCREEE has a clear vision, mission and mandate which are fully aligned with the CARICOM-s vision, mission and core values: “A Caribbean Community that is integrated, inclusive and resilient; driven by knowledge, excellence, innovation and productivity; a Community where every citizen is secure and has the opportunity to realise his or her potential with guaranteed human rights and social justice; and contributes to, and shares in, its economic, social and cultural prosperity; a Community which is a unified and competitive force in the global arena.”

The CCREEE builds on the regional intervention logic of other GN-SEC centres, creating integrated and inclusive regional markets for sustainable energy products and services by mitigating existing barriers through various tools and methodologies. CCREEE, through its mandate, will contribute significantly to the transformation of the energy landscape into a climate resilient, sustainable and affordable sector; focused on improving the lives of the Caribbean people.

As a new institution, CCREEE-s ability to communicate effectively within its target audiences
is key. With support from our development partners Austrian Development Corporation and
UNIDO, a website for CCREEE was developed and managed remotely while The Centre was
being established. CCREEE will now assume control of its communication and outreach
platforms, including the website and email accounts. In this regard, CCREEE has received
funding under the 11th European Development Fund (EDF) and German Government to
support in part the re-development of its website among other things. The CCREEE is seeking
the services of a Web Developer to retrieve, re-develop and re-launch the corporate website,
which will serve as the base for the CARICOM Energy Knowledge Hub (CEKH) and CCREEE-s
Project Preparation Facility (PPF), for the first lot (lot 1) of this solicitation document. The
CARICOM Energy Knowledge Hub is currently hosted on CARICOM Energy-s website. Lot two
(lot 2) relates to the development, implementation and integration of a renewable energy
(focusing on solar and wind in the first instance) GIS Map for the CARICOM region.
