The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to provide the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG) and the Common Procurement Activities Group (CPAG) with the latest knowledge of the market solutions related to the supply of environmentally friendly paper, taking into account long-term (3 years, plus 1, plus 1) availability of products.

The UNOG expects to follow this RFI with an Invitation to bid (ITB) for the purchase of environmentally- friendly paper that will be able to meet the operational requirements of UNOG and the CPAG members.

• The annual amount of A4 paper would be approximately 80 million sheets.
