Send us the BOQ, capacity and country. Our team reviews the requirement first, and where the project qualifies we structure it so competing supplier offers can be compared against the institution's bid templates. No cost to the buyer.
How financing fits into a Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance-linked cold-chain project
ColdMatch Group is an industrial cold-chain procurement and project-matching platform. We are not a lender, we do not provide financial advice, and we are not affiliated with or acting for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. What we do is help buyers structure the technical requirement — capacity, temperature regime, equipment lots, standards and BOQ — so it can be taken to suppliers, EPC contractors and, where relevant, to independent financing partners. Qualifying projects are reviewed by our team before any supplier or EPC introduction.
Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance-linked project: loan terms, interest and repayments
Enter your own assumptions to see what a capital structure costs over the life of the facility. Development finance and concessional facilities usually carry longer tenors, a construction grace period and lower margins than commercial bank debt; equipment leasing sits at the shorter, more expensive end. Use it to test whether the project's expected earnings can carry the debt service before you approach any institution.
