The Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) is Australia’s largest and most significant infrastructure investment in the Pacific. This $4 billion infrastructure initiative is actively engaging with countries in the region to significantly boost Australia’s support for infrastructure development in Pacific countries and Timor-Leste. The Facility uses grant funding combined with loans to support the development of high priority, quality infrastructure.

Over the next 5 years AIFFP plans to finance over $1 billion of Ports, Roads and Electrification infrastructure projects requiring expertise including skilled engineers, builders, electricians, plumbers, environmental scientists, accountants and project managers.  AIFFP intends to open up job opportunities for young Pacific Island professionals to develop their skills and experience in delivering the large-scale infrastructure works it finances. This is in addition to the opportunities which have been available during the project design and preparation phases i.e. with consulting teams contracted by AIFFP to undertake feasibility studies and deliver infrastructure designs.

AIFFP, through the AIFFP Support Unit (SU), requires external assistance by a PNG-based consultancy/service provider to identify, screen and create a database of potential recent and near graduates to supply a pool of work ready candidates to the contractors/consultants responsible for AIFFP project delivery.

AIFFP is seeking delivery of services through a PNG-based or substantially PNG-based firm or organisation to ensure local knowledge and insight in the identification of relevant graduates from both a location and sectoral basis.  The services and this requirement are to advance delivery of the AIFFP Local Content principle of maximising the use and upskilling of local labour and the private sector.

Interested suppliers are invited to respond to the attached Request for Proposal (AM11998), noting the conditions and scope of work within it, along with the following timeline. A Word version of Part E Suppliers Response From is provided for ease of response.
