FishMatch Group · Procurement Workflows

Casos de flujo de compra.

Tres flujos de compra anonimizados que muestran exactamente qué calculadoras, plantillas RFQ y listas de verificación de proveedores usan los compradores de FishMatch Group — paso a paso — para llegar a una lista corta bancable y neutral. Los patrocinadores y proveedores permanecen confidenciales; el flujo no.

Indoor RAS · tilapia

500 t/yr indoor tilapia RAS — greenfield

MENA (inland)
CAPEX (clase-3)
USD 11–13M · ±20%
Plazo
18 months incl. civil
Región
MENA (inland)

Alcance: Grow-out + nursery, MBBR biofilter, drum filters, O₂ cones, degassers, HVAC, monitoring, HACCP-ready processing tie-in.

Resultado: Three comparable bids inside ±8% envelope. Sponsor selected the mid bid on schedule and warranty grounds; lender approved on first submission.

Flujo del comprador
  1. 01

    Frame the project & size the water/biology envelope

    Acciones del comprador
    • Define target species, biomass, harvest cadence and market channel.
    • Model biofilter, oxygen and make-up water demand for peak biomass — not annual average.
    • Confirm site utilities: three-phase power, back-up power, water salinity and temperature range.
  2. 02

    Build a class-3 CAPEX & bankability view

    Acciones del comprador
    • Run RAS + project cost calculators to bracket CAPEX ±20% before speaking to any supplier.
    • Stress-test energy resilience (solar + genset backup) — most lenders now treat this as a hard requirement.
    • Complete the bankability checklist so DFI / commercial lender questions are answered up front.
  3. 03

    Prepare a supplier-neutral RFQ package

    Acciones del comprador
    • Download the standard RFQ template and adapt it to your species, tonnage and site.
    • Specify biofilter sizing rules, redundancy and processing tie-in inside the RFQ — this removes the majority of bid variance.
    • Fix acceptance criteria (FAT/SAT), warranty, delivery and INCOTERMS before dispatch.
  4. 04

    Qualify a supplier-neutral shortlist

    Acciones del comprador
    • Run each candidate through the supplier qualification checklist (financials, references, compliance, FAT capability).
    • Score with fixed weightings (technical fit, compliance, CAPEX, delivery, warranty, references) — no free-form judgement calls.
    • Only shortlisted suppliers see the buyer identity; buyer never sees the long list.
  5. 05

    Award, contract & align with lender milestones

    Acciones del comprador
    • Confirm scope split, payment milestones and FAT/SAT gates with the winning bidder.
    • Sync equipment milestones with lender disbursement schedule to protect DSCR.
    • Archive the RFQ, bids and evaluation score-sheet — the same pack is reused for later phases.
Semi-intensive shrimp

120 t/yr semi-intensive vannamei — solar-hybrid retrofit

Latin America (Pacific coast)
CAPEX (clase-3)
USD 3.4–3.9M · ±20%
Plazo
9 months RFQ → first cycle
Región
Latin America (Pacific coast)

Alcance: 14 ha lined ponds, paddlewheel + central aeration, brackish intake with reservoir & settling pond, PV + LFP battery + diesel backup.

Resultado: Diesel spend ~70% lower vs baseline. Independent CAPEX benchmark unlocked a DFI-linked working-capital facility.

Flujo del comprador
  1. 01

    Baseline the farm & aeration duty

    Acciones del comprador
    • Confirm pond footprint, target stocking density and expected FCR / survival.
    • Model aeration kW per hectare against DO targets — treat aeration continuity as non-negotiable.
    • Log 12-month diesel baseline; it becomes the reference for the solar-hybrid business case.
  2. 02

    Design the solar-hybrid envelope

    Acciones del comprador
    • Size PV+battery to guarantee aeration continuity first, kWh-savings second.
    • Split aeration between paddlewheel and central for maintenance resilience.
    • Model diesel-hours reduction and payback under 3 tariff / fuel scenarios.
  3. 03

    Issue a scope-split RFQ

    Acciones del comprador
    • Package RFQ in two lots: (a) pond civil + aeration, (b) PV + battery + controls.
    • Fix identical acceptance criteria across lots so bids are directly comparable.
    • Attach the standard FishMatch RFQ template with site data appendix.
  4. 04

    Shortlist under strict supplier neutrality

    Acciones del comprador
    • Score bidders with the supplier qualification checklist — no supplier introductions before scoring.
    • Require reference projects of comparable pond footprint and climate zone.
    • Buyer sees an anonymised score-sheet; suppliers see only the neutral RFQ.
  5. 05

    Close financing on the benchmarked CAPEX

    Acciones del comprador
    • Submit the class-3 CAPEX bracket + bid evidence to the DFI / commercial lender.
    • Align disbursement to milestone gates (mobilisation, delivery, FAT, SAT, first cycle).
    • Keep the RFQ, bids and score-sheet in one archive for annual working-capital renewal.
Processing & export

Farmed fish processing plant — EU export ready

West Africa
CAPEX (clase-3)
USD 6.5–7.8M · ±20%
Plazo
14 months
Región
West Africa

Alcance: Reception, filleting, IQF, packing, cold storage, reefer dock, effluent treatment; layout designed for BRC + EU approval.

Resultado: First export container within 45 days of commissioning. Buyer contracts signed at RFQ stage using FishMatch's neutral spec; BRC passed on first attempt.

Flujo del comprador
  1. 01

    Pin throughput, freezing curve & export standard

    Acciones del comprador
    • Set peak (not average) hourly throughput per line; freezer sizing follows the peak.
    • Choose the target export standard (EU establishment approval + BRC / IFS) up front.
    • List species mix, cut plan and packaging SKU count — this drives layout and equipment count.
  2. 02

    Draft the compliance-first RFQ

    Acciones del comprador
    • Bake EU / BRC design rules into the RFQ (material specs, drainage, wall/ceiling, cold chain).
    • Specify traceability & effluent system at RFQ stage — retrofits later cost 5–10× more.
    • Attach the standard FishMatch RFQ template so bidders share a single evaluation surface.
  3. 03

    Qualify processors & cold-chain suppliers separately

    Acciones del comprador
    • Split evaluation between (a) processing equipment and (b) freezing / cold storage.
    • Score every bidder with the supplier qualification checklist and demand BRC-compatible references.
    • Discard suppliers unable to provide FAT documentation in the export language.
  4. 04

    Lock financing & offtake before award

    Acciones del comprador
    • Present class-3 CAPEX bracket + neutral RFQ to lenders and pre-sold offtake buyers.
    • Use the bankability checklist to close the last lender questions before award.
    • Award only after financing and at least one offtake LOI are in hand.
  5. 05

    Commission, audit & lock the reference pack

    Acciones del comprador
    • Run FAT at supplier site, SAT on the plant floor — both against the RFQ acceptance criteria.
    • Book BRC / EU establishment audit as soon as line balancing completes.
    • Archive the neutral RFQ, bids, score-sheet and FAT/SAT reports for future expansion phases.
