Tender Details

Request for proposals are invited for Outsourced Services to Support the Implementation of the Global Fund-s Pooled Procurement Mechanism Request for Proposal Document.

01 Invitation To Tender

This document serves as an invitation to participate in the Global Fund-s Outsourced Services to Support the Implementation of the Pooled Procurement Mechanism (PPM) Request for Proposals and provides requirements for the Global Fund-s Outsourced Services to Support the Implementation of PPM activities and guidance to submit a proposal to the RFP.

Publicity of any form with regard to these business requirements, the Global Fund-s Strategy and/or any part of this RFP activity will be controlled by Global Fund.

Should any Bidder stated capabilities demonstrated during the course of this RFP to provide the requirements be found to be misrepresented later during contract execution, Global Fund, at its sole discretion, will have the right to terminate any resulting agreement with immediate effect.

The Global Fund will not be liable for any inaccuracies contained herein. The Global Fund has shared literature and briefings with Bidders previously; however, the information contained in this RFP Package supersedes and prevails. There will be opportunities for clarification questions as laid out in this document.

Throughout this RFP document, wherever the word “must” or “shall” is used, the requirement so indicated is to be taken to be mandatory, meaning that the Bidder will fail if this requirement is not met, or an indication given of how it can be met in the future. The word “should” is used to indicate that the requirement is highly desirable. In all cases, Global Fund is open to proposals if the Bidder feels the requirement is either not appropriate or does not follow industry standard.
