United Nations Secretariat Tender

Background And Objectives The United Nations Headquarter (unhq) Offers Health Insurance Coverage To Staff, Retirees And Their Eligible Dependents ("plan Participants") Worldwide. While The Coverage Is Worldwide, It Should Be Noted That In The Us Plan Participants Have Currently The Option To Enrol In One Of The Two Medical Plans, Each Administered By A Different Third-party Admnistrator ( "tpa") While Plan Participants Outside Of The Us Are Able To Enroll In The Plan Admnistered By A Single Tpa. The Unhq Administered Insurance Programme Is Self-insured And The Plans Within The Programme Schemes Cover Plan Participants In The Un Secretariat As Well As In Other Entities Such As Undp And Unicef. The United Nations Is In The Process Of Developing A Strategy For The Selection Of Tpas To Administer Additional Self-insured Medical Plans To Provide Coverage To Plan Participants Who Reside Either In The Us Or Outside Of The Us Or Both. That Includes Administering Services For Medical, Dental, Vision And Pharmacy And Assisting Unhq With Designing, Implementing And Managing Benefit Plans. The Objective Of This Rfi Is To Identify Potential Tpas That Are Able To Manage Claims Processing And Related Services For All Unhq Administered Plans. This Rfi Should Not Be Considered As A Contract, Nor Does It Imply Any Form Of An Agreement To Candidate Suppliers. No Inference Is Made Concerning The Intent To Purchase Products Or Services From Any Respondent Vendor. However, Responses To This Rfi Will Be Used To Build And Fine-tune An Rfp. Failure To Respond To This Rfi Might Disqualify Your Company From Consideration In The Subsequent Rfp.
