PART I - PURPOSE OF THIS REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR SERVICES
1.1 BACKGROUND
UNICEF promotes the rights and wellbeing of every child, in everything we do. Together with our partners, we work in 190 countries and territories to translate that commitment into practical action, focusing special effort on reaching the most vulnerable and excluded children, to the benefit of all children, everywhere.
1.2 SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT
Sustainable procurement is a process whereby the UN operates to achieve the goals of peace, equality, sustainable development and respect for human rights. The way UN manages its operations and procures should reflect these goals by providing clear signals to the market in favor of sustainability, innovation, and the promotion of the cleaner and more socially responsible products and services. More information is available in the link https://www.ungm.org/Shared/KnowledgeCenter/Pages/PT_SUST
UNICEF is one of the large procurers of supplies and services in the United Nations. These supplies and services have a wide-ranging impact on children, their environment, health, learning, protection and inclusion. UNICEF also promotes gender balance and disability inclusive approach while procuring the goods and services.
What is Sustainable Procurement? Procurement is called sustainable when it integrates requirements, specifications and criteria that are compatible and in favour of the protection of the environment, social progress and in support of economic development, namely by seeking resource efficiency, improving the quality of products and services and ultimately optimizing costs. To this end, UNICEF published its Policy on Sustainable Procurement.
UNICEF India is committed to making a measurable contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 through practicing sustainable procurement. UNICEF India seeks to adopt a sustainable approach, incrementally and progressively, for procurement activities to address broader environmental, economic and social issues with suppliers and vendors.
1.3 UNITED NATIONS GLOBAL COMPACT
In addition to the above, UNICEF encourages suppliers to register with UNGC i.e. United Nations Global Compact www.unglobalcompact.org)by joining the India Chapter of UNGC i.e. Global Compact Network India (https://globalcompact.in/).
As a special initiative of the UN Secretary General, the United Nations Global Compact is a call to companies everywhere to align their operations and strategies with Ten Principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. UNGC’s ambition is to accelerate and scale the global collective impact of business by upholding the Ten Principles and delivering the Sustainable Development Goals through accountable companies and ecosystems that enable change. With more than 14,000 companies and 3,800 non-business signatories based in over 160 countries, and 69 Local Networks, the UN Global Compact is the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative. One Global Compact uniting business for a better world.
Participation in the UN Global Compact is open to any company (with certain exceptions) that is serious about its commitment to work towards implementation of the UNGC principles throughout its operations and to communicate on its progress.
Through local networks, companies can make local connections with other businesses and stakeholders from NGOs, government and academia – and receive guidance to put their sustainability commitments into action.

PART III - AWARD/ADJUDICATION OF PROPOSALS
1. AWARD
1.1 Proposal Evaluation Process. The evaluation is carried out by UNICEF in accordance with UNICEF’s regulations, rules and practices and all determinations are made in UNICEF’s sole discretion.
After opening the Proposals, UNICEF will carry out the following steps in the following order:
- First, each Proposal will be evaluated for compliance with the mandatory requirements of this RFPS. Proposals deemed not to meet all of the mandatory requirements will be considered non-compliant and rejected at this stage without further consideration. Failure to comply with any of the terms and conditions contained in this RFPS, including, but not limited to, failure to provide all required information, may result in a Proposal being disqualified from further consideration.
- Second, UNICEF will evaluate the Technical Proposal part for compliance with the technical requirements stated in this RFPS on the basis of the Proposal evaluation approach set out below.
- Third, UNICEF will undertake a commercial evaluation of the Financial Proposal part of technically compliant Proposals on the basis of the Proposal evaluation approach set out below.
1.2 Proposal Evaluation Approach.
Weighted scoring evaluation approach
Following closure of the RFP, proposals will be evaluated by a UNICEF evaluation team to assess its merits. The evaluation will be restricted to the contents of the proposals, bidder profile, relevant experience, client list and financial proposal. The adjudication will be done based on the Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS) methodology.
A two-stage procedure will be followed in evaluating proposals, with evaluation of the technical proposal being completed prior to any evaluation of the financial proposal. Evaluators of the technical proposals shall have no access to the financial Proposals until the technical evaluation is completed.
The evaluation criteria will be a split between technical and commercial (financial proposal) scores (80/20).
a) Technical Evaluation
Technical Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of their responsiveness to the terms of reference, applying the evaluation criteria and the point system specified in Annex-E. Each Technical Proposal will be given a technical score. Technical Proposals receiving the minimum qualifying points or higher, will be considered technically responsive. After the completion of the technical evaluation, the financial proposal will be opened. Proposals which are considered non-technically compliant and non-responsive, will not be given further consideration.
b) Financial Proposal (commercial evaluation)
The financial scores will be arrived at based on the formula specified below, whereby the lowest evaluated Financial Proposal (Fm) will be given the maximum financial score (Sf) of 20 points. The financial scores of the other proposals will be in inverse proportion to the lowest price.
The evaluation formula is outlined as follows:
Sf = 20 x Fm/F, in which Sf is the financial score, Fm is the lowest price and F the price of the proposal under consideration.
The Proposer(s) achieving the highest combined technical and price score will (subject to any negotiations and the various other rights of UNICEF detailed in this RFPS) be awarded the contract.
From the time the proposals are opened to the time the contract is awarded, bidders shall not contact UNICEF on any matter and any attempt to influence UNICEF in its evaluation of the proposals and award recommendation, may result in rejection of the proposal.
1.3 Multiple Arrangements. UNICEF reserves the right to make multiple arrangements for any service(s) where UNICEF considers it to be in its best interest to do so.
1.4 Negotiation. UNICEF reserves the right to negotiate with the Proposer(s) that has/have attained the best rating/ranking, i.e. those providing the overall best value Proposal.
1.5 Award Notification. UNICEF will only notify the Proposer(s) that has/have been awarded the Contract(s) resulting from this solicitation process; UNICEF may, but is not required to, notify the other Proposers of the outcome of this solicitation process.
2. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT (SERVICES)
2.1 UNICEF’s General Terms and Conditions of Contract (Services) will apply to any contract(s) awarded in connection with this RFPS. By signing the Request for Proposal for Services Form, each Proposer is deemed to have confirmed its acceptance of the UNICEF General Terms and Conditions (Services). The Proposer understands that if it proposes any amendments or additional terms to the UNICEF General Terms and Conditions (Services), these must be clearly detailed in the Proposal and may negatively affect the evaluation of the Proposal.
3. RIGHTS OF UNICEF
3.1 UNICEF reserves the following rights:
(a) to accept any Proposal, in whole or in part; to reject any or all Proposals; or to cancel this solicitation process in its entirety;
(b) to verify any information contained in Proposer’s response (and the Proposer will provide UNICEF with its reasonable cooperation with such verification);
(c) to invalidate any Proposal received from a Proposer that, in UNICEF’s sole opinion has previously failed to perform satisfactorily or complete contracts on time, or UNICEF believes is not in a position to perform the contract;
