(list of the hotels under the long-term agreement with the UN is to be provided)
คำถาม
- สามารถเสนอชื่อโรงแรมอะไรก็ได้หรือต้องต้องเป็นรายชื่อโรงแรม under the long-term agreement with UN เท่านั้นครับ
เพราะเรทราคาและเงื่อนไขของสถานที่จัดงานแต่ละแห่งก็แตกต่างกันออกไป เกรงว่า หากเสนอโรงแรมที่มีเรทราคาต่ำกว่ารายชื่อที่เข้าข่ายข้อตกลงกับทาง UN ไปก่อน อาจส่งผลกระทบต่อราคาภายหลังได้ครับ
- สามารถแจ้งเรทราคาประเมินของสถานที่จัดงานที่ทาง UN มีอยู่ให้ทราบก่อน พอเป็นไปได้ไหมครับ

12. Refer to budget (approx THB 416,000)
คำถาม - หากเสนอราคาสูงกว่า THB 416,000 จะถูกตัดสิทธิ์จากการพิจารณาเลยไหมครับ หรือสามารถเสนอได้แต่จะได้คะแนนน้อยลงตามสัดส่วนการคำนวณคะแนนใน TOR
(เนื่องจากเท่าที่ประเมินราคาเบื้องต้น งานอีเว้นท์ 2 วัน + ส่วนจัดแสดงนิทรรศการ (12 big display panel) + ค่าสถานที่จัดงานสัมมนา + ค่า PR = ราคาค่อนข้างสูงพอสมควร)
Answer: UNFPA allocates the maximum budget of 416,000 THB for the 4th TICA Connect event (TICA Connect & a group discussion). UNFPA will evaluate the technical quotation from every company that submits the quotations. It will evaluate the financial quotation of those whose technical quotation meets the technical requirements indicated under bullet A and bullet B of the pre, during and post event section.
