PROVISION OF RISK MANAGEMENT AND RISK CONTROL SERVICES FOR THE RENOVATION AND EXPANSION OF THE CONFERENCE FACILITIES PROJECT AT THE UNITED NATIONS OFFICE AT NAIROBI
CLOSING DATE: 10 APRIL 2023
The United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON), the UN headquarters in Africa, was established by the General Assembly in 1996. Led by a Director- General at the Under-Secretary-General level, UNON serves as the representative office of the Secretary-General in Nairobi and functions as the representational and liaison agent with permanent missions, the host-country and other Governments, and intergovernmental and nongovernmental organizations in Nairobi, as well as other organizations of the United Nation’s system in Kenya. The UNON hosts the global headquarters for two programmes: the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat). UNON also provides administrative and other support services to these programmes and the UN Resident Coordinator System. It provides joint and common services to other UN Country Offices, UN Regional Offices and UN entities based in Kenya.
The UN. facilities in Kenya were initially established in 1974 as the home of the UN Environmental Programme and have rapidly evolved into a mega-complex serving the UN and its agencies in Africa. The conference facilities are in need of renovation and expansion, and the Secretary-General has proposed a major project to modernise and significantly enhance the existing facility.
UNON has embarked on a major capital project, referred to as the Renovation and Expansion of the Conference Facility Project. The objective of this project is to meet the current and future conferencing needs and address foreseeable conferencing requirements of the Organization over the next 25 to 30 years.
UNON is now seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified and interested vendors to participate in a Request for Proposal at a later stage for the provision of risk management and risk control services for the renovation and expansion of the conference facilities at UNON. The services under the request for proposal will consist of independent professional services for design and construction project risk assessment, management and control. Deliverables will include risk management strategy; qualitative analyses; quantitative analyses; inclusive of probabilistic modelling and project cost histograms and sensitivity (correlation) analyses of top risks.
