GOAL invites prospective suppliers to respond to this Expression of Interest (EoI) and submit administrative documentation in order to be entered into a restricted suppliers list for 1 year for the supply of food kits as specified in appendix 9.1. Please note that the list in appendix 9.1 is an exemplar for fair comparison and the final supplies requested in any tender resulting from this EoI may be subject to change.

3.1 EXPRESSION OF INTEREST This Expression of Interest is the first stage of a restricted tender process. The EoI will be evaluated on the basis of the technical criteria detailed below. Shortlisted vendors will then be issued Invitation to Tender (ITT) documents and invited to submit offers during 2016/2017 for the provision of Food Kits on conditions set out in attached appendix 9.1.

This EoI itself is NOT a Request for Quotation (RFQ) or an Invitation to Tender (ITT). This is a technical and quality assessment in order to create a restricted suppliers list and as such no financial offers are requested or should be submitted with your response.

3.2 QUALITY CONTROL AT CONTRACT STAGE 1st and 3rd party companies may carry out random quality inspections from samples selected at any stage between production and distribution to GOALs beneficiaries. The cost of the quality control inspections and laboratory tests will be covered by GOAL.

Independent quality and loading supervision may be used to ensure that all products supplied meet all packaging and loading requirements specified in the contract.

In cases of suppliers quality default in addition to Liquidated Damages section 21 of GOAL Standard Terms and Conditions (appendix 9.3) the costs of the quality inspections and loading surveyor will be charged to the vendor.
