This Request for Proposal has been issued by Laridae on behalf of the Ottawa Food Bank. Laridae will be responsible for managing all correspondence related to this Request for Proposal, including questions, inquiries, submissions, and interview invitations.
The Ottawa Food Bank (“OFB”) is inviting organizations to submit proposals to develop a centralized system for home food deliveries in the Ottawa area. The current OFB home delivery program was initiated in response to the challenges faced by many in accessing food bank resources in their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The program allows OFB to continue to meet the needs of those in the Ottawa community while prioritizing the health and well-being of the community as a whole.
OFB is now looking to see the development of a centralized home delivery service to support food security agencies across Ottawa. The successful organization will be responsible for developing a centralized system that organizes and executes deliveries of food from the local community food banks and food security programs across the city, to their clients.
The intention of this RFP is to find an incoming organization who would take on the “last mile” of home delivery for food security programs. Client intake and the preparing of food orders would remain the responsibility of the food security program, while the incoming organization would coordinate the order being picked up at your location and delivered to the home of the recipient.
The deadline for submissions is November 3, 2022, at 5:00 pm EST. To ensure a fair and equitable process, all questions about the RFP should be directed to Jennifer Haddow, Project Manager at jennifer@laridaemc.com.
Submissions must be received via: https://laridaemc.com/rfp-home-delivery-services-for-the-ottawa-food-bank/
