Kenya Shippers’ Council (KSC) Call for Proposals

The Kenya Shippers’ Council (KSC) is a business membership organization that advocates for the interests of cargo owners (importers and exporters) in the region, on policy, regulatory and operational issues in transport and logistics.

The Council aims to address four key issues that characterize trade facilitation in Kenya and the region:-

·       High and uncompetitive transport and logistics costs despite the global demands for rapid and timely delivery of goods.

·       The lack of a unified voice of the shippers and the enormous gains that can be achieved.

·       Recognition that trade liberalization and regional integration can only be realized if trade facilitation logistics and related challenges are effectively addressed.

·       Integrity and reliability of supply chain systems and cargo interventions.

The Council is in the process of developing best practices in transport and logistics and becoming a one-stop centre for all documentation on trade policies, regulations and procedures. In this line, the KSC is calling for submission of proposals to provide the following services:

1.  Develop a Logistics Performance Survey Index (LPI) for the East African Region

2.  Analyze the Economic benefits of implementing the Maritime Regulations of the Merchant Shipping Act of 2009

3.  Provision of IT equipment

4.  Develop a Membership Recruitment and Retention Strategy for Kenya Shippers Council

5.  Short Term Public Relations Consultancy Services

6.  Research Assistants
