Provision of Medical Evacuation

Solicitation; Long Term Arrangement

The purpose of this Request for Proposals for Services (“RFPS”) is to invite proposals for Long Term Arrangement for the Provision of Medical Evacuation and Repatriation Services for UNICEF Personnel Worldwide as fully detailed in the Terms of Reference/Statement of Work attached at Annex B.

UNICEF wishes to enter into (a) non-exclusive Long Term Arrangement(s) for Services (LTA-S) for the procurement of the services detailed in the RFPS and required from time to time during the term of the LTA-S. It will be a provision of such LTA-S(s), that UNICEF will not be committed to purchase any minimum quantity of these services. UNICEF shall not be liable for any cost in the event that no purchases are made under any resulting LTA-S.

Purchases will be made against contracts to be issued by UNICEF in accordance with the terms and conditions of any resulting LTA-S(s). Actual quantities to be purchased will vary from contract to contract.

Other United Nations Agencies, Funds and Programmes shall be entitled to place contracts under the prices and terms of the LTA-S. Contracts placed by other United Nations entities constitute a contractual agreement between the supplier and the ordering United Nations entity. UNICEF will not be a contractual party to these contracts and has therefore no obligations or liabilities for contracts not issued by UNICEF.

• RFPS document
