Instructions to Bidders - RFQ

The document outlines the GCF's RFQ process, specifying that quotations are assessed on a pass/fail basis and then rated by cost. It details the use of the GCF Oracle Supplier Portal for registration and submission, communication protocols restricted to the Head of Procurement, and strict rules regarding quotation validity (90 days), prohibited file formats, and ethical conduct. It also clarifies the GCF's tax-exempt status in the Republic of Korea and the requirement for all official communications to be in English.

• The GCF's RFQ process utilizes a two-stage evaluation where supplier quotations are first assessed as "pass or fail only" and subsequently "rated based on cost".
• Bidders must use the GCF Oracle Supplier Portal for registration, profile management, and bid submission, though an email alternative to [email protected] is available if portal submission is not possible.
• All quotations must remain valid for 90 calendar days following the submission deadline; those with shorter validity periods may be rejected.
• Under the Headquarters Agreement, the GCF is exempt from all direct and indirect taxes in the Republic of Korea, including value-added tax and customs duties, except for public utility charges and certain health and safety restrictions.
• Bidders are prohibited from employing any person in the preparation of a quotation if that person was a GCF official, agent, or staff member within the 12 months preceding the RFQ issue date, unless prior written approval is granted.
