8.4.3 Supply of Equipment for the Global Mayors Challenge Rourkela Cold Rooms

UNDP is seeking a company to supply essential equipment for the Rourkela´s Cold room’s project.  The Cold Rooms project aims to address the high rates of difficult conditions experienced by street vendors in Rourkela. The Cold Rooms project focuses on the installation of solar-panelled cold rooms operated by women’s Self-help Groups (SHGs) with the objective to support refrigerating, selling or storage options. The project wants to provide a sustainable technological solution for farmers to operate, whilst creating a critical opportunity to connect producers directly with local consumers. Local vendors face challenging conditions, including exposure to extreme weather, multiple drivers of cost that reduce the viability of low-volume production as well as a marketplace void of clear market signals. These vendors therefore struggle to make informed decisions on how to produce and sell, resulting in high volumes of food wastage or distressed selling, significantly impacting on the stability and viability of their livelihoods.
