Notice Title

Safety and security advice and assistance for election observation missions

Notice Description

1.STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES/TOOLKIT: Develop a standard health, safety and security manual for observers (based on standard operating procedures and recommended minimum training standards), and a DIY risk assessment tool for all long or short term election observation missions for lower-risk environments. We anticipate this would be a fixed fee, one-off assignment. 2.STRATEGIC ADVICE AND RISK ASSESSMENT: Deliver security consultancy and advice to WFD in advance of a proposed election observation mission, including a location-specific comprehensive risk assessment and security plan for a mission to a higher risk environment, upon request, for the purposes of proposals/bids or approved mission planning. We anticipate this could be structured as a retainer or a daily fee rate or quote per assignment, to be drawn down under the framework as required. 3.MISSION-SPECIFIC ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE: Provision of a bespoke verbal pre-departure briefing; on-the-ground safety, security and logistical support as required (including local security awareness training, supply of close protection, guard services, etc. and COVID-19 related assistance, either directly or via a local partner); remote threat monitoring and 24/7 advice and assistance; and crisis support (in conjunction with WFD's insurance-related response consultants and/or the FCDO, as appropriate) for missions to high-risk environments. We anticipate this would be quoted per assignment, to be drawn down under the framework as required. Submitting a bid In general, the bid should include the following: -Organisational profile -Proposed solution for each of the services -Financial proposal -References -Confirmation of compliance with Conditions of Tendering Organisational profile: * Company profile, including brief history and financial overview * Case studies/credentials demonstrating relevant experience and skills profile * Names and brief biographies of key staff * Registered to a relevant and existing HMG framework agreement WFD is particularly keen to receive bids from organisations which are - or are working towards becoming - living wage employers and that have a broadly representative and balanced Board from gender and ethnicity perspectives. Proposed solution: * Clear explanation as to the proposed approach to meeting the specification set out in this ITT. * Indicative service level agreement to facilitate the delivery of each service line, including timelines, assumptions and dependencies, resourcing and risks. Financial proposal: * Full breakdown costings for the proposed solution for each service line * Separate accounting of VAT and/or any other applicable tax, duty, or charge. * Any discount applied in view of WFD's not-for-profit status. References: * Bid should include two references relating to similar goods/services provided in the last 3 years. Detailed information and evaluation criteria can be found in the ITT attached.
