DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS
This Request for Expression of Interest (REOI) is issued by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) to identify qualified and experienced food and beverage service operators that may be interested in participating in a future competitive solicitation process.
The purpose of this REOI is to assess the availability, interest, qualifications, and capabilities of the market to provide a range of food and beverage services at UNECA Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

UNECA regularly supports major regional and international meetings, conferences, summits, and special events throughout the year.
UNECA is exploring future food and beverage service arrangements that may include cafeteria operations, conference and event catering, café services, bistro-style dining, and other related hospitality services across multiple locations within its premises.
