NRC work environment requires effective communication equipment solutions. The bidder must be able to understand the essence of our activities. NRC is looking for a partnership with the supplier through the new contract. Our aim is to enable countries to purchase directly from the supplier within the framework agreement. In addition, the contract will frame the purchasing processes, the service level of agreement, logistical support and prices. NRC requires bidders to prove the ability in delivering an optimum support to the mentioned areas.
Please note, that through a framework agreement, NRC is not committing to purchase exclusively against the agreement. If in individual deployments, the use of local suppliers makes more sense for whatever reason (including lead-time, cost and duties), NRC may choose to purchase outside the framework agreement (e.g. through a local supplier).
The contract duration shall be for 2 years with the possibility of an additional one-year extension.
