We kindly request vendors who are interested in responding to this EOI but have not yet registered as a supplier with the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM) to complete the online vendor registration form which can be accessed at https://www.ungm.org. EOIs that do not contain the information requested for evaluation by UNFCCC may be rejected. This notice is posted for information only and does not constitute an invitation to bid or submit a proposal. The UNFCCC reserves the right to change or cancel these requirements at any time in the EOI and/or solicitation process. The UNFCCC Procurement and General Services Unit considers a vendor’s qualifications and experience in the particular commodity/service area, and previous performance, when preparing a list of invitees. Thus submitting an EOI does not automatically guarantee a vendor will be considered for receipt of the solicitation when issued; and the UNFCCC reserves the right to send the Solicitation Documents to Vendors who were identified through additional market research or others means to source the UN requirements.
