Deadline: 14-Sep-20
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) hereby invites you to submit a proposal to this Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Implementing Partner Services for Japanese Grant.
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 RFP; 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 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 Government of the country or any Implementing Partner receiving services under this RFP; and
- All other circumstances that could potentially lead to actual or perceived conflict of interest, collusion or unfair competition practices.
Eligibility Criteria
- 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 Bidders responsibility to ensure that its employees, joint venture members, subcontractors, service providers, suppliers and/or their employees meet the eligibility requirements as established by UNDP.
