It should be noted that the RFP will specify the UN’s preference for receiving proposals directly from manufacturers, or alternatively, from one company designated by the manufacturer as their authorized distributor/dealer, provided that the manufacturer agrees to co-sign the contract 6. The UN requires the successful vendor(s) to supply brand new MHE, including after-sales support services (e.g. technical support, training, spare parts, tools, warranty, etc.) throughout the entire life cycle of the equipment. The resulting contract(s) will be on a non-exclusive, as-and-when required basis and will be for an initial period of three (3) years with an option to extend at the UN's discretion for two (2) additional periods of one (1) year each. After-sales support services shall be provided by the contractor(s) for the entire life-cycle of the MHE, estimated to be fifteen (15) years. 7.
