Provision of Advisory services to WFP’s population of retirees in the United States

The United Nations World Food Programme hereinafter referred to as the “WFP”, with its Headquarters located in Via C.G. Viola, 68/70, 00148 Rome, Italy is the leading humanitarian organization saving lives and changing lives, delivering food assistance in emergencies and working with communities to improve nutrition and build resilience by assisting almost 100 million people in around 83 countries each year. About 17,000 people work for the organization, most of them in remote areas, directly serving the hungry poor.

The WFP HQ seeks to purchase Advisory and administrative and support services related to eligibility review, enrollment support, and ongoing participation into U.S. Medicare for its population of retirees and eligible dependents residing in the United States.

WFP administers medical insurance benefits for eligible retirees and their dependents worldwide. A portion of the population residing in the United States (estimated at around 150 individuals) may be eligible for enrollment in the U.S. Medicare program but may not yet have opted to register. Navigating Medicare eligibility requirements, enrollment procedures, coverage options, contribution records, and compliance obligations can be complex, particularly for international civil servants whose employment history may differ from that of typical U.S. beneficiaries. WFP therefore requires specialized support services to assist eligible individuals in understanding Medicare requirements, determining eligibility and contribution costs, completing enrollment processes, maintaining compliance with applicable regulations, and coordinating Medicare participation with existing medical insurance arrangements. The objective is to facilitate informed decision-making, ensure compliance with applicable Medicare requirements, and support the cost-effective effective administration of retiree healthcare benefits at WFP.

WFP invites eligible suppliers to express their interest in providing the requested services .
