Request for Expression of Interest (EOI)
Participation in Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) Program
USAID’s Punjab Enabling Environment Project (PEEP) is a five-year effort to support the private and public sector stakeholders including Government of Punjab in creating business enabling environment for the livestock, dairy, and horticulture sub-sectors in Punjab. PEEP’s initiatives aim to spur private sector investments and employment generation in the three sub-sectors.
USAID PEEP has established a Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) program to help accelerate investment mobilization and capitalize on the project-supported reforms process. A Transaction Advisory Service is a series of financial, technical, commercial and legal advisory services leading to a bankable business start-up or expansion for potential investors. PEEP has partnered with a leading consultancy firm to implement this program by facilitating potential investors with investment ready bankable projects that will result in investment mobilization and employment generation pertaining to the selected sub-sectors of Punjab.
Through this solicitation, PEEP invites Expressions of Interest (EOI) from individuals and business entities, who are interested in receiving technical assistance and business advisory services for investments in dairy, livestock and horticulture sub-sectors in the province of Punjab. The program will also support investments envisioned under Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangements.
