 FOR ESTABLISHING LONG TERM ARRANGEMENT

FOR PRINTING SERVICES (This bid is only open to Myanmar Based Printers)

=================================================================Sub:    Request for Expression of Interest (REoI) to identify the potential bidders for the provision of Printing Services in Myanmar.

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is a Request for Expression of Interest (REoI) to the bid that UNICEF is planning to issue to identify the potential bidders for the provision of Printing Services in Myanmar.

UNICEF, Myanmar Country Office (MCO) will establish Long Term Arrangements (LTAs) with Printers for its ongoing needs for high quality printing services for a range of material including reports, booklets, banners, brochures, infographics, posters and other items against requirements in MCO, Yangon as well as from fields offices. This arrangement is to carry out bulk printing comprising documents/reports etc. including binding depending on the various requirements of UNICEF offices in Yangon and its field offices.

The LTA mechanism is an arrangement that enables UNICEF to secure the supply of printing services for a set period – in this case for a two-year period, beginning January 2022. The LTA may be extended for up to three year (1+1+1), provided the supplier’s performance has been satisfactory and prices have been reviewed and found to be competitive at the time of extension.
