For this contract fixed prices are to be considered.Clarification 84. We wanted to bring to your attention that there are two identical mandatory boxes "Document name : Audited financial statements or Certified bank statements or certified finance statement or tax return documents" under documents checklist. Given that this is mandatory we cannot proceed without uploading something in each box, would it be acceptable to upload the same documents twice?Answer. If duplicate boxes, please upload the same document.Clarification 85. Following up on our previous request with regards to the two mandatory boxes for Audited financial statements, we also noticed that the same is true for Forms H, I and G, i.e. they all have mandatory duplicate boxes, can you advice us how to proceed here?Answer. If duplicate boxes, please upload the same document.Clarification 86. We would like to request a clarification with regards to your answer no. 39 (in italics below) on sample projects being no more than 5 years old with regards to the performance statment form (Form F), given that section 2. under Qualification criteria requires us to prove "Extensive experience, minimum of 10 years..." in Forn F.

We have additional questions regarding the CV requirements, to ensure full compliance:1) In the 'old' 4.1 LOT the Cyber profiles requested required a min. of 10 years and 4.2 with minimum 5 years. In the new document though. Now, we are only bidding for 4.1, does that mean that it is only the profile with 10 years we need CV’s from or both profiles?2) Just to be sure in LOT 1 we are only able to provide one profile, or one profile per area of competency?Answer. The requirements have been diveded among both new lots.For Lot 4.1 - Min 10 years of experience, including senior roles in cyber security or risk management.For Lot 4.2 - - Min 5 years of practical experience in the field of infosec, cybersecurity or related discipline.This among the rest of requirements.Clarification 89. We are writing to request that you kindly consider a further extension of the submission and clarifications deadlines, particulary given the pending requests for clarification on the format and need for references/evidence signed by clients that can be verified by UNOPS, as gathering this information as well as securing the necessary approval to share (often confidential) project info from our clients will take some time. Further extending the deadline would enable more prospective respondents in such situations to submit compliant proposals with the necessary evidence.Answer. No further extension is being consideredKind regards

LOT 1, Insurance & Risk Transfer Mechanisms: Could UNOPS clarify the geographical scope of training (and advisory services) for Insurance and Risk Transfer mechanisms, specify under Lot 1?

New clarification added: Esteemed BiddersPlease review the following clarifications: Clarification 52.

This should be agreed when defining the scope of specific trainings and suitable audienceClarification 55. If customization is needed, what elements should be tailored (e.g., case studies, tools, methodologies)?Answer. Customisation would likely involve case studies and tools.Clarification 56. Would there be a need to localize the training materials?Answer. If customisation, especially for Lot 1 and 2 is done through relevant case studies and tools applicable to UNOPS, there would be no need to localise training materials, as they would be applicable across the organisation.Clarification 57. Will we have access to end learners (for the purpose of needs assessment and gap analysis?nswer. UNOPS will assess the needs and any gapsClarification 58.

Is there a particular requirement for financial capabilities of the company? F.e. for liquidity ratio that needs to be at a specific level? If company has huge investments in new product/service development, there could be lower financial indicators - can it be an obstacle for participation in the procurement?Answer.

Please elaborate on the question to be able to answer properly.Clarification 45. Should risk management elements be integrated in lots 2 and 3 beyond what would usually be consideres 'strategic risk management'?Answer. Integrating broader risk management elements into Lots 2 and 3 could definitely add value beyond just the typical "strategic risk management" scope, and bridge the gap between strategic thinking and real-world execution.Clarification 46. What is an example of evidence that the training can be conducted/complete in deverse timezones and web-based platforms. Would an URL from a website be sufficient or a screenshot?Answer. Each supplier needs to provide the best evidence possible, a URL may be consdired if the requirment can be confirmed by accessing such website.Clarification 47. Lots 1-3, Form D, Section 3: "Two examples of previous relevant courses": For the materials used to support that request, should the sample include the entire slide deck or just a few (3-5 or so) of the slides?Answer.

Can we rely on financial capacity of sub-contractor by submitting their liquidity ratios, audited financial statements?Answer. No, only through a joint venture you could rely on other entities financial capacity.Kind regards

New clarification added: Esteemed BiddersPlease review the following clarifications: Clarification 23. On some lots we have the capabilities to provide training resources, design materials etc since topics are those on which we advice our clients within the UN System since decades: we therefore haven’t necessarily structured training courses in the past but rather advisory services. Would this experience/credentials meet your requirements for participation ?Answer. The training experience is necessary for this tender.Clarification 24. Would it be possible to request a change to LOT 4 and to split it into two sub-LOTs, as follows: LOT 4.1: Executive Briefings and Cyber Crisis Tabletop Exercise and Cyber Security Research and Advisory LOT 4.2: Specialized Cyber Security & Privacy Training and Certifications This is due to the fact that LOT 4.2 would require a different set-up in terms of certifications than LOT 4.1 which is more advisory focused.Answer. Yes, these are two separate aspects, and there is no issue treating them separately.Executive Briefings and Cyber Crisis Tabletop Exercises are general advisory services suitable for a broad audience but are specifically designed to educate senior leadership without certification. The specialized training and certification are intended exclusively for Cybersecurity and Privacy team members."LOT 4.1: Executive Briefings and Cyber Crisis Tabletop Exercise and Cyber Security Research and Advisory" is identified as lot 6 by the system."LOT 4.2: Specialized Cyber Security & Privacy Training and Certifications" " is identified as lot 7 by the system.Clarification 25. Regarding Lot 4, and specifically the point 'Specialized Cyber Security & Privacy Training and Certifications', does it mean that the course must necessarily lead to a certification? In other words, are we being asked for an end-to-end support that includes course design and delivery, examination, and the issuing of the certification in case of passing?Answer. These specialized certifications (exam and certificate upon passing) are administered by their respective professional associations (e.g., ISC2, ISACA). The request here is for course design, delivery, and support to prepare candidates for the official examination from the certifying professional associations.Clarification 26. Regarding the Financial Proposal forms for all LOTS and the rates requested. Can you clarify whether this should be rates for trainers or trainees? The forms state the latter however not all activities are for trainees and the rates would depend on the size of the class and also whether this is delivered on the ground or virtually. Our request is therefore that the rates requested are for trainers and not for trainees.Answer. Please review amended documentsClarification 27. Technical support for users with a resolution time of 48 hour – can you elaborate on this requirement?Answer. This refers to any support related to online training (e.g. access issues, download of necessary applications, licences for ad-hoc applications, etc.Clarification 28. Option for annual subscription arrangement that will facilitate continuous access for selected UNOPS personnel to online resources, including up-to-date content, reports, training materials, network eSourcing v2021 contacts for specific areas pertinent to each lot, and a diversified range of services available on the provider’s web-based platforms. – can you elaborate on this requirement?Answer. This refers to options / license for annual subscription to the provider's platform to have access to new content and e-learning resourcesClarification 29. Infrastructure for e-learning platforms. – can you elaborate on this requirement?Answer. This refers to UNOPS e-learning platform, in the event the provider can offer e-learning modules that can be integrated into UNOPS e-learning platform. It is information that UNOPS will provide, if there is such option.Clarification 30. Provide a list of participants for the online instructor-led training. – can you elaborate on this requirement?Answer. This is not a requirement for the supplier but something that UNOPS will provide as part of the inputs / contribution for the preparation of training modules.Clarification 31. I'm writing to request access to the recording of, and minutes from the informaitonal meeting that took place earlier today.Answer. As informed in a previous clarification, the meet has been suspended.Clarification 32. We reviewed the amended documents but it is still unclear to us whether you prefer a consortium to apply for all Lots, or whether we can apply for one or two Lots only. Can you confirm that we can apply for one Lot only?Answer. As stated in the section particular in eSourcing, Offerors shall be allowed to quote prices for one or more lots identified in this tender, therefor the bidders can decide which lots to submit proposal on.Clarification 33. The evaluation criteria require certain expertise (e.g. 10 years of experience) for the trainer. However, it is unclear whether we can submit many trainers who, in total, have 10 years of experience, or whether all trainers need to have individually had 10 years of experience. Can you clarify how many trainers we can submit for each lot and how their experience will be cumulated?Answer. The experience is requiered per trainer.Clarification 34. What is the “size limit” of Form D technical proposal? Parts of the technical proposal don’t specify page length (e.g. Specialised knowledge). How long should these sections be?Answer. The parts of the technical proposal that don’t specify page length shoul be no longer thsan 1 page.Clarification 35. Under facilitator qualification in form D it states “[Insert description here, fill the table and attach the CVs using Form E: Format for Resume of Proposed Key Personnel in the appropriate space under the checklist of documents in eSourcing]” - what exactly should be filled here? Do you wish us to attach a long CV descirption or merely short bullet points?Answer. A short description is required in Form D, the complete CV should be submitted using Form EClarification 36. How should we fill the “Form F: Performance Statement Form” for the LOTs? Should we self-evaluate whether the supply of goods was satisfactory, or do you expect previous clients to do the evaluation? Should we sign the document or do you want signatures from previous clients?Answer. The reference should be from previous clients, signed by them, that can be verified by UNOPS.Clarification 37. Should the forms be submitted separately or as one long document?Answer. The forms should be submitted in the section provided for each form in the document section.Kind regards
