Public Call for Tender nb. 91173108 Blast Film 18.9207.4-002.00 RMO

1. Context

GIZ Lebanon’s implements a wide range of development cooperation activities throughout Lebanon in the water, education, civil society promotion, urban development and employment promotion and technical vocational training sectors. GIZ Lebanon implements alongside Lebanese governmental, civil society and non-governmental partners, with work and travel concentrated in all of Lebanon’s governorates.
Lebanon’s security situation is currently precarious due to an economic and political crisis whose causes remain present.
Although how the situation may evolve is not to be known, it is possible that criminal, terroristic or warfare acts involving the use of explosive will occur in the future.
Poor infrastructures and a lack of regulatory and monitoring mechanisms currently enhance the risk of collateral damage related to faulty storing and transporting of hazardous goods.
The port blast of 4th August 2020 is the best example of such issues evolving into an incident.
GIZ needs to protect personnel working in its offices from the risk of explosions that might shatter glass windows/doors and subsequently injure people within the premises.
GIZ is therefore to install blast film at its country office.
