Instructions to Bidders - RFP

The document outlines the GCF's procurement process for RFPs, detailing the use of the Oracle Supplier Portal, the 'two-envelope' system for separating technical and financial proposals, and the evaluation criteria based on a combination of points and cost. It specifies communication protocols, submission deadlines, and the legal status of the GCF, including tax exemptions in the Republic of Korea. The guide also defines rules regarding conflicts of interest, the use of former employees, and the requirements for joint ventures.

• The GCF uses a 'two envelopes' system for RFP evaluations where technical and quality aspects are assessed first; financial proposals are only opened and evaluated after the technical evaluation is complete.
• Proposals are evaluated using a process where they are first assessed as pass or fail against requirements, then scored against criteria, and finally rated using a weighted combination of points and cost.
• Bidders must submit proposals through the GCF Oracle Supplier Portal, although an email alternative is available if technical difficulties occur.
• The GCF maintains strict communication rules, requiring all RFP-related correspondence to be directed solely to the Head of Procurement via a specific email address.
• Proposals must remain valid for at least 90 calendar days following the submission deadline, or they may be rejected.
• The GCF is exempt from all direct and indirect taxes, including value-added tax and customs duties, in the Republic of Korea under the Headquarters Agreement.
• Bidders are prohibited from using individuals who were GCF officials, agents, or staff in the 12 months prior to the RFP issue date to help prepare proposals without prior written approval.
