Through this Request for Information (RFI), the UN seeks to explore the commercial market for potential solutions from qualified vendors who can provide actors for safety training courses (simulations). The UN Department of Safety and Security (DSS) has a requirement to hire 16 skilled actors, with at least four of them (4) possessing good driving skills, to participate in a recurring security training simulation exercise. The exercises will take place approximately nine (9) times per year. The actors will be required to perform various roles that are crucial for the realistic portrayal of security threats and scenarios. The scenarios include conducting illegal checkpoints, simulation of kidnapping UN staff and taking hostages, acting as internally displaced persons (IDPs) in an IDP camp, and attacking an IDP camp, among others. These scenarios will occur over 1.5 days during each training session at a government-provided training facility. Expected Requirements from Vendors: 1. Experience: Prospective actors must have prior experience in acting and role-playing, preferably in simulated security training exercises. 2. Versatility: Actors should be able to effectively portray a wide range of characters and scenarios with authenticity and sensitivity. 3. Physical Fitness: Some scenarios may require physical exertion, so actors should be in good physical condition. 4. Professionalism: Actors must demonstrate professionalism, reliability, and the ability to follow instructions from the training facilitators. 5. Sensitivity: Given the sensitive nature of the scenarios, actors must exercise empathy and cultural awareness when portraying characters in distress. If you are interested in responding to this Request for Information, please submit your information (documentation, brochure) directly by email to Maria Jose Gentile De Armas [email protected]. The following questions should be addressed in your response: 1. Can you provide examples of similar roles that your actors have performed? 2. How do you ensure that your actors are capable of delivering authentic and impactful performances for sensitive scenarios such as those outlined above? 3. What measures do you have in place to support the well-being and mental health of your actors during and after intense simulation exercises? 4. How many actors do you have on your roster who would be fit for this job? 5. What is your cost structure? 6. Do you have experience working with international organizations? 7. Can you describe your process for selecting and training actors specifically for security-related simulation exercises? 8. What is the minimum notice period required before the training to provide the actors?
