Procurement
CIFI is committed to ensuring that its procurement processes are free from discrimination and bias. By adhering to these principles, CIFI seeks to foster a procurement environment rooted in integrity, respect, and fairness. The institution believes that cultivating a diverse and inclusive supply chain enhances its operations and contributes positively to the broader community.
Equal Opportunity
To all suppliers and contractors, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion, or any other characteristic protected by law.
Fair Evaluation
Through consistent and objective criteria in evaluating all bids and proposals, ensuring that all potential vendors have a fair chance to compete.
Transparent Processes
Providing clear information and feedback to all participants to support a fair and competitive environment.
Inclusive Practices
Engaging a diverse range of suppliers and contractors, promoting inclusivity and supporting minority-owned, women-owned, and other diverse businesses.
Zero Tolerance for Bribery and Corruption
Offering or accepting a bribe or behaving corruptly in anticipation of a bribe or advantage is unacceptable. Any instances of unethical conduct will be addressed promptly and rigorously.
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 its Ethics Code, and can make use of its 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.
Procurement Process
CIFI is committed to ensuring equal treatment and non-discrimination for all suppliers participating in its procurement processes. To achieve this goal, CIFI has established a clear and transparent process that will be followed for each request for quotations or proposals. This process will be published here according to the thresholds established for disclosure to publicly inform all stakeholders.
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.
Procurement Opportunities
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.
