Description
Auto-translated from PortugueseAgency: UNICEF | Reference: LRPS-2026-EMA-9205057 | Type: Request for proposal
Request for proposals for the Establishment of Long-Term Agreements (LTA) for Air Freight Forwarding Services in Mozambique. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in Mozambique is seeking proposals from duly qualified organizations for the Establishment of Long-Term Agreements (LTA) for Air Freight Forwarding Services in Mozambique. Goods are regularly shipped by air from Maputo or other airports in Mozambique to the various provinces and localities where UNICEF or its implementation partners carry out projects.
Contracted companies must be able to ensure that all air cargo can be moved and delivered without delays or additional costs.
The company must have the capacity to deliver cargo using its own transport or through subcontracting, and must be able to pay all charges related to parking, storage, demurrage, and delivery. Both air freight forwarding companies and companies that own or have direct access to their own fleet of cargo planes/helicopters are eligible and welcome to participate in this tender.
Both types of bidders will be duly considered in the evaluation process, provided they meet the mandatory requirements and demonstrate the technical, operational, and financial capacity to provide the required services.
Ownership or direct access to a private fleet will be considered a technical advantage, particularly for emergency operations and multi-destination deliveries; however, its absence will not, in itself, be grounds for disqualification. The LTA will be for an initial period of three (3) years, which may be renewed for an additional two (2) years, subject to an assessment of good performance, UNICEF Programme needs, and availability of funds. Tender documents, including the terms of reference, can be requested via email at supplymaputo@unicef.org, indicating the reference LRPS-2026-EMA-9205057 in the subject line. Companies eligible to provide these services are invited to submit their proposals (technical and financial) by 13:00 (Maputo local time) on August 27, 2026, directly to moztenders@unicef.org.
