INSTRUCTIONS TO TENDERERS
2.1 GENERAL 2.1.1
Introduction
In 2007, the Strategic Urban Planning for Small Cities in Egypt (SUPSCE) project was initiated, outlining the cooperation between the General Organization for Physical Planning (GOPP) and UNHabitat providing technical support in the preparation of Strategic Urban Plans (SUP) for 48 small cities in Egypt. The project aimed at enhancing the planning methods and tools which are adopted by the Government of Egypt in order to produce Strategic Urban Plans for small cities. These SUPs are to respond to the local priorities in an efficient and realistic manner. The project partnered with the Government of Egypt in order to provide professional technical, steering and development policies support.

Request for Proposals (RFP) for
The Development of the Technological Work Environment and the establishment of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) Strategic Urban Planning for Small Cities in Egypt The General Organization for Physical Planning (GOPP)
21-Sep-15
1. AGENCIES The General Organization for Physical Planning (GOPP) was established with the presidential decree no. 1093 year 1973 to be the sole official authority for planning human settlements in Egypt. The Planning and Building Law gives GOPP the responsibility of formulating public policy planning and sustainable urban development; and preparing plans and programs for this development at the national, regional, governorate levels, then review and approve urban plans at the local level in the framework of the objectives and policies of national, regional and local planning and sustainable urban development. It gives the GOPP in the Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Development (MHUUD), the authority and responsibility to compile Regional and Governorate Plans. All plans give a spatial dimension to both the analysis of development needs and aspirations as well as to the implementation of development initiatives but at different scales and levels of detail. The United Nations Human Settlements Programme, UN-Habitat, is mandated by the UN General Assembly to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all and developing competitive and resilient cities. The UN-Habitat is due to look into new and more powerful ways to address current unsustainable urban development patterns in a systematic manner and at scale. Within the Strategic Plan 2014 2019, UN-Habitat supports countries to develop urban planning methods and systems to address current urbanization challenges such as population growth, urban sprawl, poverty, inequality, pollution, congestion, as well as urban biodiversity, urban mobility and energy.
2. BACKGROUND Egyptian cities have grown fast in the past 30 years. This has led to the continuous formation of informal settlements on the periphery of cities. In the process, cities and villages have grown at a fast pace surpassing, in some cases, 80 % of its original footprint in 1985. This rapid urbanization has led to the loss of significant areas of prime agricultural land. The migration of the workforce seeking job opportunities has fuelled the expansion of cities. Primitive informal industries have flourished in poor migrant areas and a lack of basic urban services has led to environmental degradation.
Strategic Urban Planning for Small Cities Project (SUPSCP) focuses on urban-rural linkages in order to develop small and medium rural enterprises; on sanitation issues including wastewater and solid waste management; and on improving the living conditions of slum dwellers. The project acknowledges the importance of governance, the needs of vulnerable groups and environmental issues as cross cutting themes that require special attention. The project aims to enhance the planning methods and tools which are adopted by the Government of Egypt in order to produce Strategic Urban Plans which respond to the local priorities in an efficient and realistic manner utilizing the cutting age of technology, programmes and equipments. Subsequently, the SUPSCP seeks to develop the technological work environment through establishing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), as will be explained in details via the next sections. 3. OBJECTIVE The assignment aims to enhance the activity, accuracy and validity of the utilized planning methods and tools which are adopted by the SUPSCP in order to produce influential and constructive Strategic Urban Plans that respond to the local priorities in an efficient and realistic manner. The SUPSCP contributes to improving performance and accountability in programming the development of the city, implementing and utilizing the most excellent technology and IT actions that support the decision makers. The assignment will contribute to enhancing strategic urban planning and development. Throughout two main steps:1. First: Updating the internal network infrastructure:a. Central Core Switch b. Edge Switches 2. Second: Applying the VDI system:a. Central servers unit and computers for users b. An appropriate central storage space (Data center) with a space for backups and archive copies c. Software to implement and manage this system In this context, UN-Habitat seeks tenders from specialized companies in this field to supply, operate and warrant the necessary equipment according to the specifications listed below.
