Q&A_ FIND-UTD-HCV-PA_2016The RFP states FIND will be responsible for any contractual agreements and price negotiations with suppliers. Can you further clarify what types of services/responsibilities fall under this contractual agreement, apart from price? (e.g. are subjects like product maintenance or remaining shelf life upon supply also included in the negotiations?)Also, though the RFP states FIND will handle all product selection / price negotiations, it later states the PA may be expected to handle a competitive bidding process for some HCV commodities (and not only the freight forwarding). Can you further specify what is expected from the PA regarding this point? FIND will negotiate pricing for new and existing products that will be used in the projects and this will be contractually defined at project end. The PA will of course be responsible for negotiating the best pricing with manufacturers for each order including maintenance and shelf life management.Also, if you are already procuring the same products that we will purchased in the frame of this project for others customers, you will of course be able to potentially leverage volume-based negotiation. Please clarify the scope of the maintenance for which the PA would be responsible (per section 13). Would intervention only be required in the case of a problem with commodities that the PA has procured, or would the PA also be responsible for troubleshooting or assisting with equipment that may have been procured by another party?Only for those procured by the PAPlease clarify further regarding the end-destination for the PA per country. You refer to 38 sites in 7 countries and mention delivery to central medical stores. However it’s not fully clear if the PA will always be responsible for delivery in-country, or if the delivery may also be to the (air)port. In other words, can you state anything more regarding your preferred incoterm?We don’t have the final site list yet but PA will be in charge of the procurement to each site, with some potential local shipment/ arrangement required in case that simplifies the procurement process or if it can be more effective. The PA is in charge of selecting the incoterm but cannot be DDP as we are not authorized to pay for the taxes and duties, do can be CIP, CPT, DDU depending n agents you may have in-country, or the site may have.? ................
