Dear Mrs. Gabunia,

Many thanks, this is well noted, we will copy Maia in our communication going forward.

We endeavor to get back with quotes for additional items by the end of this week/early next week.

All the best,

Mikkel

Subject: COVID-19 response: UN procurement for Georgia (update)

Dear Mrs. Gabunia,

I trust this message finds you well, despite the circumstances.

I write to provide you an update on the status of the COVID-19 procurement support by the UN. We have held several rounds of internal consultations among the interested UN agencies, and I am pleased to inform you that we have made good progress on divvying up the work with quotations for the many items on the MoH list.

In light of the urgency for PPEs, and with a view to streamline our support, we decided that UNDP will provide quotations for all the PPE items. They have solicited updated quotes and delivery times, and we are now ready to share them with the MoH. In this regard, I will request our UNDP colleagues to share the list directly with you, with a copy to the rest of us in this email. Kindly let me know if you would like other MoH colleagues to be in copy as well.

On the other categories, it will be UNOPS that provides quotes for the Emergency vehicles, and likely UNICEF/WHO that take care of the Laboratory items, and then UNOPS and UNDP will be sharing the Hospital Equipment items. All of these take a bit more time to validate quotes and delivery times, but we are working on it and will revert asap.

Merely to keep you abreast of our efforts to support you.

With many thanks and best wishes,

Mikkel
