New clarification added: Dear Sir Please advise that whether you want separate Master Bill of Lading or House Bill of Lading will suffice. In case of separate Master Bill of Lading we will need to separate the shipments for each line item to get separate Master Bill of Lading which is not the most cost-effective solution.Kind Regards,UNOPS Reply : Kindly provide the Master Bill of Lading for each shipment.

New clarification added: Dear Sir or Madam,We'd like to check if the format of the form for shipment information Under Form C: Price Schedule Form is wrong?We find each item has been divided into two shipments, there are total 8 shipments. However, you didn't specify the quantity for each shipment and we could not confirm the number of cartons.Thank you and best regards,PeakUNOPS reply : The quantity in each shipment was mentioned under Form E - Delivery Requirement Form. The Supplier, if awarded both the lots, need to provide one set of shipping docs for item 1 of both lots and one set for item 2 of both lots for each shipment. Though you can ship all the items together in each shipment ( LCL shipments in  shipping container, if you offer sea freight, i.e. different master B/L for each set) for each shipment for better freight cost, you need to provide separate shipments and separate sets of BOL/AWB for each set ( one set for Item 1s and another for item 2s). This is because products are for different beneficiaries Government ( item 1s) and NGOs ( item 2s) and a separate process needs to be done for TEC application. So in total you are required to submit 4 BOLs/AWBs for 2 shipments. If the situation in Myanmar with regard to TEC improves during the period of contract UNOPS and supplier may discuss later and mutually agree on the requirement of shipping docs. If a supplier is awarded only one lot then he needs to submit separate docs for each item of the lot, but can ship together as mentioned above.
