UNFPA hereby solicits a quotation for the following service: “Ensuring access to dignity items for women and girls affected by the floods in Jablanica and Konjic – Procurement and distribution of vouchers for Dignity items”. UNFPA Bosnia and Herzegovina Country Office requires the provision of Vouchers (prepaid cards) for Dignity items requested as per the below Terms of Reference.

Objective(s)/Task(s):
The selected bidder is expected to execute/provide the following:

Up to 1800 Vouchers (prepaid cards) with a value of 25 BAM each without VAT (900 vouchers for Jablanica, and 900 vouchers for Konjic). Possibility for correction of voucher value and total amount of vouchers upon final evaluation of bids would be an asset.

• Vouchers (prepaid cards) should allow unrestricted item selection within eligible product categories. However, vouchers (prepaid cards) must be limited to hygienic and personal care items, with restrictions explicitly prohibiting their use for food, alcohol, and cigarettes.
• Vouchers (prepaid cards) must be redeemable exclusively for dignity items (personal care and hygiene products) for women and girls.
• During the realization, the voucher can be used several times until the amount is spent, all in agreement with the bidder, i.e. it is not necessary to use the entire amount of the voucher at once.
• Possibility that voucher amount can be combined with additional funds from the voucher holder if needed would be an asset.
• The bidder must provide information on the length of validity of the voucher.
• The presence of retail stores is required in at least one of the two municipalities, Jablanica and/or Konjic, or both. The bidder must have established retail stores in the target municipalities (Jablanica and Konjic), preferably in both locations.
• It would be an asset if the bidder can ensure the capability to activate the vouchers (prepaid cards) upon request from UNFPA, as per the agreed schedule and requirements.
• The selected entity is expected to execute distribution of vouchers to UNFPA BiH Country office in Sarajevo.
