Conducting Comprehensive Market Survey and Development of Suppliers’ Database

Item Description:

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential through country programs and National Committees in more than 190 countries.

Objective of this Request for Proposal

A comprehensive market survey and development of a supplier database will form the basis of the strategic engagement with the South African market.

The market survey will support the strategic shift to development of Long Term Arrangements for goods and services for use in programming and emergency response.  Identifying the range of available goods and services will also allow UNICEF Country Offices to better define their needs and develop appropriate supply chain strategies for delivery of goods to beneficiaries.

Furthermore, several suppliers from South Africa are expected to expand regionally and globally with having long term arrangements.

The goal of the consultancy is to assess availability of locally sourced supplies, equipment and services, in order to pre-qualify vendors for local procurement initiatives and develop a supplier data base that can be maintained by the Office.
