Deadline: 10-Aug-20
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has announced a call for proposals for all legal entities that are registered and interested in the provision of the services are invited to obtain quotation documents and to submit their quotations for Implementation of HACT recommendations in 18 local governments in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Part of the Municipal Environmental and Economic Governance (MEG) Project is geared towards strengthening the capacities of partner local governments (LG) to establish sound public policy and Performance Management Systems. In order to improve partner LGs’ relevant financial management and internal control capacities and to facilitate increased transparency in their daily operations, MEG Project will support the relevant LGs departments with technical assistance aimed at implementation of HACT recommendations.
- Bidders must strictly avoid conflicts with other assignments or their own interests, and act without consideration for future work. Bidders found to have a conflict of interest shall be disqualified. Without limitation on the generality of the above, Bidders, and any of their affiliates, shall be considered to have a conflict of interest with one or more parties in this solicitation process, if they:
- Are or have been associated in the past, with a firm or any of its affiliates which have been engaged by UNDP to provide services for the preparation of the design, specifications, Terms of Reference, cost analysis/estimation, and other documents to be used for the procurement of the goods and services in this selection process;
- Were involved in the preparation and/or design of the programme/project related to the services requested under this FtFP; or
- Are found to be in conflict for any other reason, as may be established by, or at the discretion of UNDP.
- In the event of any uncertainty in the interpretation of a potential conflict of interest Bidders must disclose to UNDP, and seek UNDP’s confirmation on whether or not such a conflict exists.
- Similarly, the Bidders must disclose in their proposal their knowledge of the following:
- If the owners, part-owners, officers, directors, controlling shareholders, of the bidding entity or key personnel are family members of UNDP staff involved in the procurement functions and/or the Govemment of the country or any Implementing Partner receiving services under this RFP; and
- All other circ-umstances that could potentially lead to actual or perceived conflict of interest, collusion or unfair competition practices. Failure to disdose such an information may result in the rejection of the proposal or proposals affected by the non-disdosure.
- The eligibility of Bidders that are wholly or partly owned by the Government shall be subject to UNDP’s further evaluation and review of various factors such as being registered, operated and managed as an independent business entity, the extent of Government ownership/share, receipt of subsidies, mandate and access to information in relation to this RFP, among others. Conditions that may lead to undue advantage against other Bidders may result in the eventual rejection of the Proposal.
- A vendor should not be suspended, debarred, or otherwise identified as ineligible by any UN Organization or the World Bank Group or any other international Organization. Vendors are therefore required to disclose to UNDP whether they are subject to any sanction or temporary suspension imposed by these organizations.
- It is the Bidder’s responsibility to ensure that its employees, joint venture members, sub-contractors, service providers, suppliers and/or their employees meet the eligibility requirements as established by UNDP.
