The Commercial Analysis of Bid Responses report is required to compare the RFx responses of suppliers by various criteria such as product category, country, and response values. The preparation of the solicitation document is an important part of the procurement process. A key principle of UN procurement is competition and the execution of this principle is achieved through the solicitation process. The Invitation to Bid (ITB) process represents the activities performed to execute a formal solicitation process. This step is essential in identifying the supplier with which the UN will do business. Suppliers will submit the bid responses via acceptable modes of submission as noted in the solicitation process. The bids responses will be opened only after the bid submission date. All the necessary measures will be taken to ensure the confidentiality of all the submissions received until the bid opening time. Prospective suppliers may make changes to the submitted bid response before the bid closure. Response submission or changes to responses are not allowed after the end data/time of submission.
