Emergency and Disaster Relief Procurement

Fortress Procurement is ideally suited to manage the sourcing and delivery of emergency medical supplies and critical infrastructure equipment in times of catastrophic emergencies. Be the disaster man-made, natural, or when government order breaks down, and communities are vulnerable, Fortress can offer NGOs and first responders an efficient and reliable support programme, with fast results.

The notion of emergency and disaster relief procurement includes a range of situations of urgent need and capacity constraints, such as fragility and vulnerability in small state scenarios, procurement in active and post conflict situations, and capacity constraints such as transport access and negotiating humanitarian access in sanction-afflicted environments.

The effectiveness of the response to emergencies in meeting the immediate needs of the affected communities, embarking on the path to recovery and reconstruction, and building trust in governing bodies, depends directly on the effectiveness of the procurement processes implemented to respond to the urgent needs. 

Fortress can employ various procurement techniques, in addition to offering a range of solutions to meet the challenges presented by the different phases of an emergency or disaster relief response.
