Major Works for the Construction of the District Medical Association in Beshkent, Kashkadarya region (Uzbekistan), excluding selected works.

New amendment added #6: This RFP is hereby further amended to extend the proposal submission deadline.Considering the complexity, scale, technical requirements, and nature of the Works under this RFP, and in order to ensure broader competition and provide prospective offerors with additional time to prepare and submit responsive proposals, UNOPS has decided to extend the proposal submission deadline until 06 July 2026.All other terms and conditions of the RFP shall remain unchanged 

New amendment added #5: This RFP is hereby further amended to: (i) replace the previously issued document titled “2. RFP_2026_63039_ Major_Works_Sections II, III, IV, V Rev.1_05JUN2026.pdf” with the revised document uploaded under this amendment; (ii) revise the advance payment provisions applicable to the resulting Contract to allow for an advance payment of up to 10% of the Total Contract Price; and (iii) clarify the application of the disclosed approved ceiling price during financial evaluation and award recommendation.  The disclosed approved ceiling price for this RFP remains USD 29,210,000, comprising USD 23,240,000 for Schedule 4.1.A [Bill of Quantities] and USD 5,970,000 for Schedule 4.1.B [Supplementary Schedule and Rates].  For the avoidance of doubt, for award recommendation purposes, UNOPS shall first consider substantially compliant proposals whose evaluated prices are within the disclosed approved ceiling price. Proposals exceeding the disclosed approved ceiling price shall be considered for award recommendation only if there is no substantially compliant and awardable proposal within the disclosed approved ceiling price, and subject to the procedure set out in the Solicitation Documents.  The General Details / Description, the “Evaluation method details” field under the Particulars section, Section II: Evaluation Method and Criteria, and the Contract Details are revised accordingly.  All other terms and conditions of the RFP shall remain unchanged, except as expressly amended under this amendment.

New clarification added: Q9: The RFP discloses an approved ceiling price and also provides that proposals will be evaluated using cumulative analysis with technical and financial weighting of 80:20. Please clarify how UNOPS will treat a proposal whose evaluated price exceeds the disclosed approved ceiling price but which receives a higher technical score and, as a result, obtains a higher combined technical and financial score than a proposal priced within the disclosed approved ceiling price. For example, if one proposal is within the disclosed approved ceiling price but has a lower combined score, while another proposal exceeds the disclosed approved ceiling price but has a higher combined score due to a stronger technical proposal, which proposal would be considered for award?       A9: UNOPS confirms that proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the cumulative analysis methodology set out in the Solicitation Documents, with technical and financial weighting of 80:20. For award recommendation purposes, UNOPS shall first consider substantially compliant proposals whose evaluated prices are within the disclosed approved ceiling price. Proposals exceeding the disclosed approved ceiling price shall be considered for award recommendation only if there is no substantially compliant and awardable proposal within the disclosed approved ceiling price. The RFP has been amended accordingly to reflect this approach in the relevant sections of the Solicitation Documents. Where no substantially compliant and awardable proposal is available within the disclosed approved ceiling price, UNOPS may consult the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan (MoH), as Client, to confirm in writing whether a higher affordability threshold can be supported under the project framework and available funding. If such affordability threshold is confirmed in writing, UNOPS may consider substantially compliant proposals within the confirmed affordability threshold for award recommendation, subject to the Solicitation Documents and applicable UNOPS procurement procedures. Where a proposal exceeds both the disclosed approved ceiling price and any MoH-confirmed affordability threshold, the proposal shall not be recommended for award unless separate additional approval and funding confirmation are obtained. Submission of a proposal above the disclosed approved ceiling price does not create any obligation on UNOPS to award, negotiate, or secure additional funding. UNOPS may cancel the solicitation without award if no proposal can be recommended within the disclosed approved ceiling price or within any confirmed affordability threshold, subject to the Solicitation Documents and applicable UNOPS procurement procedures.

New clarification added: Q8: Would UNOPS consider granting a further extension to the submission deadline for this tender, considering that the solicitation has been updated, additional clarifications have been issued, and bidders require sufficient time to review all amendments and prepare fully compliant technical and financial proposals?   A8: This RFP has already been amended to extend the clarification deadline until 23 June 2026, and extend the proposal submission deadline until 29 June 2026.

New amendment added #4: This RFP is hereby amended to: (i) upload the Site Visit Minutes to eSourcing; (ii) extend the clarification deadline until 23 June 2026; and (iii) extend the proposal submission deadline until 29 June 2026; All other terms and conditions of the RFP remain unchanged, except as expressly amended under this amendment.

New clarification added: Q7: As we understand, the technical documents, including technical specifications, drawings, and BOQ, are substantially the same as those issued under the previous cancelled tender, except for the exclusions made under the current tender. Please confirm whether there are any technical changes in the scope of this tender compared to the previous tender documents.       A7: Except for the exclusions that are expressly stated in the current tender, there are no technical changes in the scope of this tender compared to the previous tender documents. The current tender explicitly excludes selected works, namely the construction of the two-storey Infectious Diseases’ Department building, the structural works of the main building, and the structural works of the Medical Gas Preparation Station building. Offerors shall prepare their proposals based on the current Solicitation Documents issued under RFP/2026/63039, including all amendments, revised documents, and clarifications issued by UNOPS.

New clarification added: Q6: Considering the scale and complexity of the construction works under this RFP, please clarify whether the advance payment cap may be reconsidered and increased, as the current limit of 10% of the total Contract Price or USD 500,000, whichever is lower, may be insufficient to support the required mobilization and timely execution of the Works.       A6: The request regarding reconsideration of the advance payment cap is currently under review by the relevant UNOPS delegated authorities in accordance with applicable UNOPS procurement and financial regulations, rules, and procedures. Should any revision to the advance payment provisions be approved, Offerors shall be formally notified through an Amendment to RFP/2026/63039 and the relevant Solicitation Documents, including the Tender Particulars. Any such Amendment shall be issued in accordance with the applicable solicitation procedures.

New clarification added: Q5: Please clarify whether UNOPS reserves the right, during Contract implementation, to instruct the Contractor to execute selected items or portions of Schedule 4.1.B based on the submitted unit rates, including in circumstances where such works have not been completed by others or become necessary for implementation of the Works. In such case, please clarify whether the unit rates for Schedule 4.1.B may be adjusted depending on the actual scope and quantities instructed during Contract implementation.       A5: During Contract implementation, UNOPS may instruct selected items or portions of Schedule 4.1.B [Supplementary Schedule and Rates] in accordance with the Contract. Where such items are instructed, the rates and prices submitted by the Contractor under Schedule 4.1.B shall apply. Offerors are therefore required to price Schedule 4.1.B based on their own market assessment, pricing methodology, and due diligence. The submitted rates and prices shall not be subject to revision merely because the actual quantities instructed are lower, higher, or different from the indicative quantities included for tender evaluation purposes, unless adjustment is permitted under the applicable Contract provisions.

New clarification added: Q4: The tender documents state that the structural works of the main building under Schedule 4.1.B are outside the initial scope of Works and will not form part of the initial Contract Price. However, Offerors are still required to submit prices for Schedule 4.1.B, and UNOPS will evaluate financial proposals based on the combined value of Schedule 4.1.A and Schedule 4.1.B. Please clarify why Offerors are required to price Schedule 4.1.B if these works are excluded from the initial Contract Price, and why the financial evaluation is based on the combined value of Schedule 4.1.A and Schedule 4.1.B while only Schedule 4.1.A will form part of the initial Contract Price at Contract signature.       A4: Following Amendment No. 2, Schedule 4.1.A [Bill of Quantities] contains the main Works to be awarded under the initial Contract, while Schedule 4.1.B [Supplementary Schedule and Rates] is included to establish priced rates for supplementary or associated works and/or Dayworks that may be required during Contract implementation, if instructed by UNOPS in accordance with the Contract. Certain works reflected in Schedule 4.1.B may have already been completed, may be partially completed, or may be under implementation by others at the time of this solicitation. However, UNOPS requires the ability to instruct selected supplementary or associated works and/or Dayworks under the Contract if this becomes necessary during implementation. For tender evaluation purposes, Schedule 4.1.B is included to ensure that financial proposals are compared on a common and transparent basis using the same indicative quantities. For Contract award purposes, only Schedule 4.1.A [Bill of Quantities] shall form part of the initial Contract Price.

New clarification added: Q3: If a proposal is submitted by a Joint Venture (JV) or consortium and the Contract is awarded, may the required bank guarantee(s), including Performance Security and Advance Payment Security, if applicable, be issued by the lead partner on behalf of the JV/consortium?       A3: With reference to Sections 11.1.5 [Performance Securities] and 11.1.6 [Review and Handling of Bank Guarantees and Securities] of the UNOPS Procurement Manual, bid securities, if applicable, Performance Security, Advance Payment Security, if applicable, and any other required guarantees must be submitted as single guarantees covering the obligations of the JV/consortium. Separate guarantees issued by individual JV/consortium members for separate portions of the Contract shall not be acceptable. The Performance Security and Advance Payment Security, if applicable, must be issued as single, unconditional, on-demand bank guarantees either in the name of the JV/consortium itself or by the lead partner on behalf of the JV/consortium, clearly stating that the guarantee is issued for and on behalf of the JV/consortium.

New clarification added: Q2: If a proposal is submitted by a Joint Venture (JV) or consortium and the Contract is awarded, shall the Contract Agreement be signed by all JV/consortium members jointly, or may it be signed by the designated lead entity on behalf of the JV/consortium?       A2: With reference to Sections 6.5.3.4 [Evaluation Criteria for Joint Ventures] and 11.1.7 [Signature, Issuance and Documentation] of the UNOPS Procurement Manual, all members of a Joint Venture, consortium, or association shall be jointly and severally liable for performance of the Contract. Accordingly, the Contract shall be signed either by all members of the Joint Venture/consortium jointly, or by the designated lead entity, provided that the proposal includes a legally valid authorization, signed by the authorized signatories of all JV/consortium members, granting the lead entity authority to sign the Contract and bind all members jointly and severally.

New amendment added #3: This RFP is hereby further amended to upload the Pre-Proposal Meeting Minutes and related presentation materials for the two pre-proposal clarification meetings held on 09 June 2026 and 11 June 2026, respectively, and to replace the previously issued returnable schedule documents with the revised documents uploaded under this amendment. Following this amendment, Offerors shall use only the revised documents uploaded under this amendment, namely:“3.1 RFP_2026_63039_ Major_Works_Returnable_Schedules_Rev.2_15JUN2026”,“4.1.A RFP_2026_63039_Major_Works_Section_VI_Returnable_Schedules_BOQ_REV2_15JUN2026”,“4.1.B RFP_2026_63039_Major_Works_Section_VI_Returnable_Schedules_Supplementary_Schedule_&_Rates_REV2_15JUN2026”, and“4.2 RFP_2026_63039_Major_Works_Section_VI_Returnable_Schedules_Implementation_Plan_REV2_15JUN2026”.For the avoidance of doubt, the revised Section VI: Returnable Schedules Rev.2 supersedes the previously issued returnable schedules document; Schedule 4.1.A [Bill of Quantities] and Schedule 4.1.B [Supplementary Schedule and Rates] supersede the previously issued BOQ-related returnable schedule files; and Schedule 4.2 [Implementation Plan] supersedes the previously issued implementation plan file.Offerors shall ensure that their proposals are prepared and submitted on the basis of the revised documents uploaded under this amendment, together with all other applicable solicitation documents, amendments, and clarifications issued by UNOPS.All other terms and conditions of the RFP remain unchanged, except as expressly amended under this amendment.

New clarification added: Q1: The Structural Works BOQ appears to have been included in the previous tender documentation and referenced in the Implementation Plan. However, it does not appear to be included in Schedule 4.1.A [Bill of Quantities] under the current tender. Please clarify whether the BOQ and quantities for Structural Works form part of the current tender scope.       A1: Following Amendment No. 2, the financial schedules are structured as Schedule 4.1.A [Bill of Quantities] and Schedule 4.1.B [Supplementary Schedule and Rates], while the Implementation Plan is structured as Schedule 4.2. The structural works are not included in the initial scope of Works under Schedule 4.1.A [Bill of Quantities] and shall not form part of the initial Contract Price. Certain structural works are included under Schedule 4.1.B [Supplementary Schedule and Rates]. Schedule 4.1.B is provided for the purpose of establishing rates and prices for associated works and/or Dayworks that may be instructed by UNOPS during Contract implementation, in accordance with the Contract. The rates and prices submitted under Schedule 4.1.B shall apply only if and when the relevant associated works and/or Dayworks are instructed by UNOPS. Inclusion of items or quantities in Schedule 4.1.B does not constitute a commitment by UNOPS to order, instruct, utilize, or pay for any minimum quantity of such works. Offerors should also refer to Schedule 4.2 [Implementation Plan], as revised under Amendment No. 2, which reflects the corresponding implementation sequencing and associated activities.

New amendment added #2: This RFP is hereby further amended, and certain originally issued documents are replaced as follows:    The following documents have been uploaded under the Documents Section of the RFP and replace the previously issued versions:        2.RFP/2026/63039: Major Works_Sections II, III, IV, V_Rev.1_05JUN2026      3.1 RFP/2026/63039: Major Works_Returnable Schedules_Rev.1_05JUN2026       All other terms and conditions of the RFP shall remain unchanged.
