ACQUISITION D'EQUIPEMENT DE PROTECTION INDIVIDUELLE (EPI)

The International Labour Organization has issued a tender for the acquisition of personal protective equipment, with delivery expected in Côte d'Ivoire. That is close to the whole of what the notice states: a category of goods, a buyer and a market. Nothing else is recorded. The notice does not say which items of protective equipment are wanted, in what quantities, to what technical standard, or where in Côte d'Ivoire they would have to be delivered. It does not give the duration of any contract, the size of any budget, the evaluation criteria, or whether a single supplier would take the whole award. It does not name the unit within the organization running the process, nor set out how a quotation must be prepared and submitted. No scope of work and no bidder requirements are stated, so a supplier cannot judge whether its catalogue meets the need. Firms that manufacture or distribute personal protective equipment and can serve the Ivorian market have a category signal here and very little more; the full solicitation documents are what would allow a decision.
