New clarification added: Question 11:Please extend the solicitation deadline to January 15th 2019. We have not been able to get support to obtain the supplier code from the UN website. It’s not clear how long this process can take and without the supplier code we cannot bid. Please provide support to obtain the supplier code.Answer 11:The deadline will remain as 4 January 2019. We assume that the ‘supplier code’ you are referencing to is related to Form H: Supplier Registration Form. Please note that you can bid on this ITB without having the ‘Supplier No’ indicated in Section 1 of the form. If you are registered in UNGM and are currently able to view this tender, you will be able to submit a bid in response to it.Form H has been provided as part of the tender documents to facilitate registration of any new UNOPS vendors in our ERP system. It is not mandatory to submit this form as part of your bid however it is recommended because if your bid is successful, your vendor details will need to be registered in our UNOPS ERP system in order to generate purchase orders against the LTA. Once your vendor details are registered our system will generate a unique ‘Supplier No’ for your company. This specific supplier number therefore cannot be generated through UNGM.

New clarification added: Question 10:In column E the average for each Lot is calculated in the rows titled Price for Evaluation in USD (Average of the prices in Column E). For Lot 2 however the average price includes the average price for Lot 1 as well. To illustrate:1. Cell E6 is the Average of E3:E5. This makes sense.2. Cell E9 is the average of E6 - E8. Is this correct?Answer 10:This is an error. The formula indicated should be AVERAGE(E7:E8). Please adjust the table accordingly wherever needed to reflect the correct average price for the different quantity ranges for the lots.

New clarification added: Question 8:The financial form does not allow for a separate price column for Right Hand Drive (RHD). Our RHD vehicles are different in price than Left Hand Drive (LHD). Can you please clarify how to bid for RHD variants. Answer 8:Please refer to the third amendment which has revised the technical specifications so that only Left Hand Drive vehicles are required. Your financial bid form should therefore indicate pricing for LHD vehicles only. However please indicate in your bid whether you are able to supply right hand variants as well. This will be for information purposes only. Question 9:In the ITB Instructions for Forms at the bottom it states:‘Average price is defined as the sum of all technically compliant FCA unit prices in each lot….’We are clear that the definition of FCA requires the seller to deliver the lot to a designated city. Is the designated city United Nations in New York? Please provide the designated city so we can calculate the delivery costs associated with each lot. Answer 9:The designated FCA location will not be the United Nations in New York. The FCA delivery place will be the seller’s premises for the purposes of evaluation. Please note however that at the time of call-off order, UNOPS or the procuring agency may request, and the LTA holder must be able to quote for a different FCA point (such as the nearest sea port or inland named location). The procuring agency may also request different delivery incoterms such as CPT or DAP. However UNOPS reserves the right to award the freight component of any orders placed against the LTA to its designated freight LTA holders if this is deemed more cost-effective.

However the main bidder in the JV must be the manufacturer of the MPVs (i.e. Form A: Joint Venture Form should indicate that the manufacturer has the highest proportion of responsibilities between partners in % ). In terms of evaluation JVs will be evaluated as follows: 1) Eligibility/Formal Criteria - all JV entities must meet the criteria2) Qualification Criteria - all JV entities must meet criterion 1.

New clarification added: Question 3: Is it possible to submit a bid where the bidder's vehicle has been designed to pass the 4a+b blast protection test but the test has not been fully completed? If the bidder aims to complete the tests by the end of Q1 2019 will UNOPS be able to accept the bid? Answer 3:Further to the qualification criteria we would need documentary evidence to demonstrate that your vehicle meets this blast protection level or confirmation from a government entity that the vehicle has passed the blast tests. This information would need to show that the required tests have been concluded by the time the ITB closes. Any bids that are not able to provide this will not be considered technically compliant.
