Request for Proposal: Risk and crisis management planning for the onion industry (VN20001)
Hort Innovation is a not-for-profit, grower-owned Research and Development Corporation (RDC) for Australia’s $15.1 billion horticulture industry. Hort Innovation invests around $120 million in research and development (R&D) and marketing programs annually to provide benefit to industry and the wider community.
Hort Innovation is seeking a suitably qualified, experienced and capable delivery partner for the project: Risk and crisis Management Planning for the Onion Industry (VN20001).
The objectives of the services are to help Hort Innovation deliver an updated comprehensive crisis management plan for the onion industry that will:
• Undertake risk identification, mitigation strategy formulation and management planning.
• Ensure the Industry is equipped to manage crisis events, outlining responsibilities of key stakeholders and resources required for the management of a crisis by the Peak Industry Body.
• Provide crisis management training to the industry and key stakeholders that will be required to be involved in the event of a recall or crisis.
Hort Innovation has prepared a Request for Proposal (RFP) document that provides background information, outlines the scope of services, the procurement process and the information required from interested parties.
This crisis management investment will be run in parallel with project: Risk and crisis management planning for the sweetpotato Industry (PW20002).VN20001 (this project) and PW20002 are being advertised concurrently. Whilst these projects will be awarded separately, Hort Innovation will look for efficiencies if potential delivery partners respond to both.
The RFP may be downloaded from www.tenders.net (you will need to be a member of tenders.net to access this information).
The closing date for responses is 5:00 PM (AEST), 7 April, 2021.
