Details
UNICEF Nigeria Country Office invites proposals from qualified and experienced companies for the establishment of non\-exclusive Long\-Term Arrangements for the provision of event management, conference management, protocol, logistics and related services across Nigeria.
The proposed Long\-Term Arrangements will have an initial duration of three years, subject to satisfactory performance, continued need and the applicable contractual conditions. UNICEF may establish multiple arrangements under each Lot and Geographic Zone. No minimum quantity, value or volume of business is guaranteed.
The requirement is divided into the following Lots:
Lot 1: End\-to\-End Event Management Services
Lot 2: Audio\-Visual, Production and Hybrid Event Services
Lot 3: Branding, Printing and Event Visibility Services
Lot 4: Protocol, Registration and Participant Support Services
Lot 5: Interpretation, Rapportage and Content Support Services
Bidders may submit proposals for one or more Lots and one or more Geographic Zones, provided they demonstrate the required technical, operational and geographic delivery capacity.
Proposals shall be submitted in accordance with the solicitation instructions. Technical and financial proposals must be submitted separately. Bidders shall complete the applicable Financial Proposal Workbook for each Lot offered and quote in Nigerian Naira for the Geographic Zone or Zones proposed.
Venue, hotel accommodation, catering and refreshment costs are excluded from the fixed LTA rates and will be separately sourced, documented and approved by UNICEF for individual assignments.
The resulting arrangements will enable UNICEF to issue assignment\-specific Purchase Orders or conduct secondary competitions among eligible LTA holders based on the applicable Lot, Geographic Zone, technical suitability, availability, delivery requirements, performance history and evaluated cost.
