The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to enter into a contractual agreement with a successful bidder and select a suitable Contractor to carry out the following work:
Human behaviour affects health outcomes. Behavioural evidence on what influences behaviours at the individual, community, and population level can improve the design of policies and programmes, communications, products and services aimed at achieving better heath for all. Considering this, WHO aims to promote and enable the systematic use of behavioural and social sciences in public health across the three levels of the organization – headquarters, regional offices and country offices. The establishment of Long Term Agreements (LTAs) seeks to support these efforts and ensure expert services are available for teams working in all WHO offices.
WHO may during a certain period procure certain services from the selected providers at prices which will remain fixed for the duration of the LTA or framework/umbrella agreement (three years, renewable twice for an additional period of one year each, at WHO’s discretion and subject to satisfactory performance). Specific services will be provided under separate requests, issued by WHO on a case by case basis (each of which will reference the terms of the LTA or framework/umbrella agreement). The LTA or framework/umbrella agreement will not constitute an obligation on the part of WHO to request any services from the selected providers. Services will be requested on an as needed basis, as determined by WHO. There will be no guarantee of any minimum volume of services and WHO retains the right to enter into multiple LTA’s or framework/umbrella agreements, and/or to engage similar services from other sources.
WHO is an Organization that is dependent on the budgetary and extra-budgetary contributions it receives for the implementation of its activities. Bidders are, therefore, requested to propose the best and most cost-effective solution to meet WHO requirements, while ensuring a high level of service.
This request for proposals is not opened to individual bidders.
