Vendors Resource Center

CIFI is dedicated to establishing and maintaining effective, positive relationships with its vendors to optimize resources, minimize risk, and protect its own or third parties’ assets.

Vendors are expected to follow CIFI’s sustainability standards as well as our Ethics Code, and can make use of our Ethics Channel to report misconduct.

Procurement of goods and services at CIFI will apply certain economic thresholds and, when applicable, the following can be used: a i) Direct Request for Proposals, ii) Roster of Consultants, or iii) Public Tender.

Interested vendors can contact procurement@cifi.com with inquires related to opportunities posted on this section only and before the closing date. Inquires unrelated to open opportunities and/or outside the window of application will not be responded.

CIFI’s acquisition processes are separated into two categories: acquisitions for projects or funds and institutional acquisitions. The first category includes projects financed by third party funds that are administered by CIFI, while the latter refers to the acquisitions of goods and services, including advisory, directly by CIFI for its institutional needs.

For transparency and fairness purposes, CIFI may publicly disclose the name of the awarded vendors, and other relevant information. Disclosure of procurement-related confidential information should not occur, when it can jeopardize the competitiveness of procurement and the principle of fairness.

Vendors can review this section to learn about the results of a bidding process. Within three (3) days after award notification, if a vendor wishes to ascertain the grounds on which their proposal was not selected, please contact procurement@cifi.com..
