PALLADIUM INTERNATIONAL LIMITED is seeking suppliers for the "Colombia Green Ports" project aimed at reducing emissions and promoting sustainability in Colombian port operations. This tender, categorised under services and focusing on areas such as energy, transport, and research and development, is in the open procurement stage, using an open procedure. The process invites interested parties to submit proposals by 15th August 2025, with the contract scheduled to commence on 29th September 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2026. The initiative is centred in Colombia and aims to support national policy on modernising ports, with a total procurement value of £150,000.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, sustainable energy solutions, and transport services, particularly those oriented towards technological and sustainable innovations. It is especially suited for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises that can provide expertise in diversifying exports, introducing low-emission vessel fuelling options, and enhancing intermodal transport connections. The focus on technical assistance to facilitate a transition to clean energy aligns with global trends towards greener operations, making it a strategic opportunity for businesses in related industries to expand their footprint in public sector projects.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Colombia Green Ports

Notice Description

In Colombia, 60% of the cargo handled by the ports consists of coal and fossil fuels and more than 85% of the cargo is mobilised by road transport, which will not change or be replaced without an adequate transition. Given Colombia's characteristics, there are real opportunities to support ports to be greener and reduce emissions while articulating with the rail sector, diversifying the exports, progressively substituting the fossil fuel demand and accelerating the transition to the use of clean energy in port operations. This project will contribute to accelerate emissions reductions by enhancing the capabilities and knowledge of decision makers at the public sector to implement the national port policy (CONPES 4118 of 2023) that provides guidelines on the modernisation and sustainability of port activities and their Integration with the territory. They have the power to implement sustained and lasting changes but lack some of the relevant technical expertise required. We are sourcing for suppliers who will provide technical assistance to develop: - Recommendations to support the diversification of exports, decreasing the share of coal exports from the ports through the future necessary interventions for exporting green hydrogen and other low-carbon products - Recommendations to support the diversification of vessel fuelling options with low- or zero-emission alternatives, aimed at reducing carbon emissions from the port sector. - Recommendations to promote green energy generation for ports in Colombia - Recommendations to promote the intermodal transport connections of the ports Interested suppliers are encourated to submit a proposal . This RFQ includes the following materials: Schedule 1 - Terms of Reference Schedule 2 - Instructions for submission Schedule 3 - Terms and Conditions Annex I - RFQ Response Form Annex II - Budget and workplan template we look forward to your response.
