Percentage breakdown per deliverable is provided in Section IV - Form F ( Financial Proposal Form). The timeline of deliverables is also provided in the Terms of Reference document. -Unfortunately, as per UNOPS standard practice, I am unable to share the general budget range for this tender. - At this moment extension of the deadline is not being considered. Kind Regards, Dear Manager,we would be pleased if you could kindly clarify the points below:-We understand that this is a lump-sum project and that it is up to bidders to calculate the cost per deliverable and estimate the amount of days needed for delivery; can you please confirm?-Is it possible to share a general budget range that UNOPS envisions for the project?Furthermore, considering the current situation due to the COVID-19 emergency, many firms are taking measures to avoid to spread the contagion such as smart working and/or total closures of the office. This could affect fair and equal competitiveness for the preparation of the Technical and Financial Proposals as it does not guarantee equal participation.We hereby request if an extension of the deadline to submit the offer could be granted.Thank youIBF International Consulting
