1. The United Nations Procurement Division’s Regional Procurement Office (UNPD/RPO) based in Entebbe, Uganda, has a requirement for establishment, operation and maintenance of duty-free post-exchange (PX) facilities in the UN Field Missions in Africa to provide reasonably priced and varied merchandise to personnel authorized by the UN. 2. UNPD/RPO seeks Expressions of Interest (EOI) from experienced Suppliers that are duly registered and authorised to provide such services. 3. The duration of the envisaged contract is three (3) years plus UN's sole option to extend for additional two (2) one-year (1) periods. 4. Companies interested must demonstrate their capability and provide evidence that they have enough resources and capacity to meet the requirement. 5. Companies interested in supplying such services are invited to submit the Vendor Response Form below, clearly indicating the following: a) Company’s address, contact person, telephone numbers and e-mail; b) Company’s registration number (if already registered with the UN). 6. As you express interest in the planned solicitation by submitting the response form, please verify and ensure that your company is registered under its full legal name with the UN Secretariat on the United Nations Global Marketplace (www.ungm.org). 7. Note that companies that have previously submitted EOI for similar requirements with the UN must re-submit full documentation as detailed above. 8. Please note, this is not an invitation for submission of bid or proposals. Its purpose is to identify companies that would be interested to participate in the solicitation when issued. 9. The UNPD/RPO will examine the outcome of this request for EOI and will consider those companies that have expressed their interest providing the required information as to their ability to fulfill the UN’s requirement. 10. The UNPD/RPO reserves the right to change or cancel the requirement at any time during the EOI and/or solicitation process. Thus, submitting a reply to this REOI does not automatically guarantee that your company will be considered for receipt of the solicitation when issued. The tender and any subsequent commitment to contract will be issued in accordance with the UN financial rules and regulations. 11. The expression of interest (EOI) is to be submitted by e-mail to: unesb-rpo@un.org no later than 25 June 2018 and clearly marked with the inscription “Provision of Duty Free Post Exchange (PX) Operation Services to the UN Field Missions in Africa". 12. EOIs not addressing the above criteria to the satisfaction of UNPD/RPO shall not be considered for the solicitation to bid, if and when issued. UNPD/RPO reserves the right in selecting the invitees for the solicitation and mere expressing an interest would not automatically warrant for solicitation document. 13. Queries regarding this REOI should be directed to unesb-rpo@un.org. Thank you for your interest.
