Establishment of Long-Term Arrangements for Services with Financial Service Providers for Direct Payment of Frontline Worker Incentives and Programme Beneficiary Cash Transfers.

UNICEF is putting in place standing arrangements with financial service providers in Angola, under which two streams of money would be paid out directly: incentives to frontline workers, and cash transfers to people enrolled in its programmes. The intention is a set of appointments that remain available over an extended period rather than a contract for one assignment. Providers appointed would handle disbursement of funds to the two recipient groups named. The notice does not say what volumes or values are involved, how many providers UNICEF expects to appoint, which channels or technologies the payments would use, what a provider must demonstrate to be considered, or what the contract terms and duration would be.
