Information for suppliers of materials and equipment, for example regarding costs in foreign currency or invoice submission.
Do you have a contract with GIZ to supply materials and equipment? If so, contract processing is subject to the rules and documents, including annexes, that are published with the tender documents.
If you have specific questions, please get in touch with the contact person listed in the tender or contract documents.
Fraudulent emails claiming to be from GIZ are currently circulating. Many are being sent from what are supposedly accounting addresses. The fraudulent emails are addressed to contractors and, among other things, ask you to pass on confidential information such as outstanding invoices or contact details, with the aim of then falsifying them. GIZ would ask recipients of such emails to ignore them and not to share any sensitive information. Please always verify whether the emails are sent from an official GIZ address (@email).
If you receive an email like this or notice any suspicious activity, please inform us immediately at @email.
Costs in foreign currency are converted and reimbursed for all countries based on the euro exchange rate. Conversion is performed using the European Commission's currency converter.
IIf individual contractual agreements state that costs must be reimbursed in a foreign currency, then a relevant foreign exchange purchase receipt must be submitted with the invoice.
Foreign currency specified on the foreign currency list as not used for international payments is reimbursed following submission of evidence of the foreign exchange rate.
