QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Q&As)

QUESTION 5: The response to question 5 was that “Key Personnel will be based in Mozambique for the duration of the contract”, which did not answer our question. Could you please advise if our Key Personnel candidates have to currently reside in Mozambique, or is it acceptable if they relocate there if we win the contract?

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 5:

Key Personnel will be based in Mozambique for the duration of the contract. Upon award, all key personnel outside of Mozambique must relocate to Mozambique.

QUESTION 6: Section F.5.1.2, Chief Security Officer, page 20: The role requirements and description provided for the “Chief Security Officer” is the same as that provided for the “Operations Manager(s)” in F.5.1.3.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 6:

Please refer to the amendment 2, attachment 1, page 20 – revised RFP.

QUESTION 7: The response to question 7 was that the “Activity Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan (MEL Plan) is not required as part of the proposal submission. It will only be required after the award.” This conflicts with RFP Section L.6.1, page 89, which states that the “Activity Monitoring and Evaluation Plan” is required as an Annex to the proposal.

RESPONSE TO QUESTION 7:

Confirmed. Activity Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Plan (MEL Plan) is not required as an Annex to the proposal to be submitted Please refer to the amendment 2, attachment 1, pages 89 and 97 – revised RFP.
