Provision of Local Fund Agent (LFA) Services in The Central African Republic

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the “Global Fund”) invites all potential Offerors to submit proposals for providing LFA (Local Fund Agent) services with respect to grants funded by the Global Fund in the above country.

The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to select an LFA that will provide best value to the Global Fund, when both technical and cost factors are combined.

The Global Fund will evaluate all proposals received in response to this RFP in accordance with the evaluation criteria described in this document.

The provision of services under this RFP will be governed by a Framework Contract that will contain the legal terms and conditions for such provision of services. If a new Offeror is selected following this RFP, such Offeror will sign a Framework Contract, a template of which is included in Attachment I, with the Global Fund. If the Offeror that is selected following this RFP has already signed a Framework Contract with the Global Fund, such Framework Contract will govern.

The Global Fund will issue a Purchase Order pursuant to, and governed by, the terms of the Framework Contract for the provision of services for an initial 6-month period until the end of 2019. The commencement of services is likely to be 1 July 2019.

It is anticipated that further Purchase Orders will be issued annually to the successful Offeror beyond 2018, based on the needs of the Global Fund, and subject to satisfactory service provider performance and the Global Fund’s assessment of whether value-for-money continues to be achieved. Each Purchase Order will be based on a work plan including the relevant services negotiated annually with the successful service provider.
