The Price Component will be opened only for those firms/institutions whose Technical Component meets the requirements for the assignment. The total number of points which a firm/institution may obtain for both components is 120 points. 23. The technical component, which has a total possible value of [100] points, will be evaluated using the following criteria: a) The firm/institution's general reliability as well as experience and capacity in the specific field of the assignment - 25 points as follows: Page 4
i)reputation /credibility and reliability of the firm 5 points; ii)financial stability ( 5 points) iii)quality assurance procedures (5 points) ; iv)experience on similar projects and deliverables ( 5 points) and v) Project management controls (5 points) b) The approach in responding to the TOR and the detailed work plan (50 points)including i.

This maximum number of points will be allocated to the lowest price proposal. All other price proposals will receive points in inverse proportion according to the following formula: Points for the Price Component of a proposal being evaluated = [Maximum number of points for the Price Component] x [Lowest price] [Price of proposal being evaluated] 25. Please note that the UNOPS is not bound to select any of the firms/institutions submitting proposals. Furthermore, since a contract will be awarded in respect of the proposal which is considered most responsive to the needs of the project concerned, due consideration being given to UNOPS's general principles, including economy and efficiency, UNOPS does not bind itself in any way to select the firm/institution offering the lowest price. 26. Negotiations: UNOPS may enter into negotiations with the Offerors whose offers remain within competitive range of compliant offers. Such negotiations do not constitute an award of contract. Page 5

ANNEX I: TERMS OF REFERENCES Type of Services:Web and Graphic Design Company for the SUN Movement Secretariat Duty station: Remote service delivery (with travel to HQ in Geneva upon request- Duration: 1 December 2013 31 December 2014 (3 months trial with possibility of extension) Background and Justification The Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement was established in 2010. It is a global movement, which unites governments, civil society, United Nations agencies, businesses and citizens in a worldwide effort to end malnutrition. There are now 42 countries from Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Indian State of Maharashtra participating in the SUN Movement. The SUN Movement Secretariat (SMS) is based in Geneva and is composed of a small team of nine policy advisors led by a Coordinator and managed by his Chief of Staff. The SMS facilitates and supports the efforts of SUN country governments along with the 27 member Lead Group and four support SUN Networks (Business, United Nations, Civil Society and Donor), to scale up nutrition and reduce high rates of malnutrition. The SUN Movement website (www.scalingupnutrition.org) which uses WordPress 3.6 content management system, supports the main communication goals of the SMS: 1. Foster greater understanding of the SUN Movement 2. Facilitate communication, learning and engagement across the Movement 3. Empower stakeholder advocacy and communications 4. Amplify SUN Movement Progress The SMS has benefited from the services of a private communication company who has built and currently maintains a sophisticated website. This company has also developed several key communication materials to advance the visibility and understanding of the SUN Movement. The website and key SUN materials are translated into three languages: English, French and Spanish. Rather than using a translation software service, the web content is translated by a third party company and uploaded to the SUN Movement website by the private communication company. As the Movement continues to grow with 42 countries and thousands of groups from across the world now participating, it is critical to meet the increased requirements for communication, information sharing and learning. The SUN website is the central communication tool of the SUN Movement and is expanding in line with the growth of the SUN Movement. The SMS is looking for a Web and Graphic Design Company to maintain, expand and improve its website and communication materials. Development objective The Web and Graphic Design Company will contribute to the maintenance, continuous development and improvement of the design, accessibility and interactive nature of the SUN Movement website as well as to communication materials and resources produced by the SUN Movement Secretariat. The Web and Graphic Design Company will ensure that SUN Movement website and communication materials reflect the continuous evolution of the Movement, follow a coherent, interactive style and identity, provide the best possible access to SUN Movement stakeholders and contribute to the overall communication goals of the SMS. The primary language used for the SUN Movement website is English but the entire site is translated into Spanish and French. In addition, key material is being translated into Russian, Arabic and Portuguese. As the Movement continues to grow, translation requirements are likely to increase in both volume and number of languages. The SUN Movement Secretariat (SMS) will work directly with third party translations companies and providing translated content directly to the Web and Graphic Design company. The Web and Graphic Design Company will be responsible for ensuring that all translated web content, materials and graphics are quickly, accurately and efficiently formatted and uploaded to the site in all required languages. Page 7
Working Relationships The SMS has some training in working in WordPress and is able to modify and upload content to the website on a limited basis. The majority of content uploading, all design work and technical aspects of site management will be the responsibility of the Web and Graphic Design Company. The Web and Graphic Design Company will be expected to work closely with a designated key contact within the SMS as well as with all members of the SMS as required under the overall supervision of the SUN Movement Coordinator. As instructed and guided by the SMS key contact, and under the overall supervision by the SUN Movement Coordinator, the Web and Graphic Design Company may also need to build working relationships with key contacts in SUN countries, the SUN Networks and third party actors including the translation company if appropriate and required. While the services can be provided remotely, travel for face-to-face meetings with SMS staff at their office in Geneva will be required at the commencement of the contract, on a quarterly basis and as required. Regular teleconference calls with the SMS designated key contact will also be expected on a weekly basis on average, to identify priority needs and tasks. In addition, the SMS will send ad hoc requests for uploading or changing content on the site, if needed and/or urgent. It is expected that a dedicated focal point in the Web and Graphic Design Company will act as the main liaison and commit to fully understand the complex and quickly-changing environment in which the SUN Movement exists whilst also ensuring others are capable of maintaining the service in their absence and as required to deliver the required services. As the SMS needs to react quickly and efficiently to the communications needs of the Movement, it is expected that the Web and Graphic Design Company will be able to deliver services (i.e. uploading of content, modifications to the website and development of materials) with speed and accuracy as defined by the complexity of the request and as agreed with the SMS. While the SMS does not expect 24 x 7 support on a routine basis, the selected Web and Graphic Design Company will be requested to provide technical support outside of standard working hours/ during a weekend in the case of interruption of web services or urgent needs for sharing information via the website or creating new communication materials.
