RfQ for Printing Services

The International Labour Organization has issued a request for quotation for printing services, published through the United Nations Global Marketplace and covering Egypt. A request for quotation is a lighter procurement route than an open tender, typically used where the requirement is well defined and price is the main basis for award, though the notice does not confirm the evaluation basis in this case. What can be established from the material is the buyer, the category of service and the country of delivery. It is not possible to say which office or project is buying, what is to be printed, in what quantities, to what specification, over what period, or where the work must be delivered. A firm working in commercial printing in Egypt would recognise the category as relevant to it, but could not judge fit or prepare a response on this material alone. The notice does not state the scope of work, the deliverables, the contract duration, the qualifications required of bidders or the documents a quotation must contain.
