The Aquaculture Procurement Process
Procurement is not a single event — it is a nine-step lifecycle. Skipping steps saves weeks and costs years.
1. Needs analysis
Species, capacity, site, budget, timeline, risk appetite.
2. Market scan
Identify project-matched manufacturers per subsystem: RAS, oxygenation, feeding, monitoring, hatchery.
3. RFQ issue
Structured RFQ to 3–5 shortlisted suppliers with 15-day response window.
4. Technical evaluation
Score offers against measurable specs. Reject non-compliant proposals early.
5. Commercial evaluation
Normalize prices to same incoterm, currency and payment schedule before comparing.
6. Negotiation & BAFO
One structured round of clarifications, then Best And Final Offer.
7. Contracting
Fixed scope, milestones, penalties, warranty, IP, force-majeure.
8. Delivery & commissioning
FAT, SAT, biological ramp-up, staff training.
9. Warranty & performance
12–24 month warranty, performance guarantees against KPIs, penalty escalation.
