How manufacturers can participate - the offer is open

Manufacturers interested in participating must follow this process:

UNICEF issues calls for offers two times each year based on a 15-year demand forecast that is updated bi-annually. Please see the latest Demand Forecast.
Suppliers that are interested in making an offer must first sign a registration agreement of AMC terms and conditions. There is no need for pre-qualification or for AMC eligibility of the vaccine to participate in a call for offers.
Offers by manufacturers cannot be higher than the forecasted demand for the start date proposed by the supplier. Offers must not have a start date later than 5 years into the future.
Upon a complete assessment of each Supply Offer, UNICEF can enter into supply agreements only with those manufacturers whose products are pre-qualified by WHO and are deemed eligible for AMC funding by an Independent Assessment Committee.
UNICEF can also decide to enter into provisional supply agreements with those companies whose vaccine is under pre-qualification at WHO. Provisional supply agreements will automatically turn into supply agreements once vaccines are pre-qualified by WHO and are deemed eligible for AMC funding by an Independent Assessment Committee
UNICEF may decide to award less than the total demand forecasted for the vaccine if this would support the creation of a healthy vaccine market including multiple manufacturers, meeting developing country preferences and matching supply with demand.

Please download the AMC legal agreements, including the registration guidelines and the procedure memorandum.

UNICEF has issued the First Call for Offers on September 4th, 2009.
