ნინო,

ვესაუბრე მაიკლ გრაბნერს. არ აქვს არავითარი პრობლემა ახალი კონტრაქტის გაფორმებასთან დაკავშირებით, სადაც მითითებული იქნება რომ მომსახურების ღირებულება ანაზღაურდება აგვისტოს თვიდან.

მისი თხოვნაა, რაც შეიძლება დროულად დასრულდეს ფორმალური მხარის მოგვარება.

შესაბამისად, გთხოვთ, დააჩქაროთ ბანკი და შეძლებისდაგვარად მოკლე ვადაში გაუგზავნოთ ოფერი.

მადლობა.

მაიკო

თიკო სალამი,

ჩვენ მსოფლიო ბანში გაგზავნილი  გვაქვს მოთხოვნა,  თუმცა ამ მიმოწერიდან ირკვევა რომ მომწოდებელს სამინისტროსთან აქვს პრეტენცია.

ბანკთან ყველა შემთხვევაში ახალი კონტრაქტი უნდა გაფორმდეს, თუმცა არსებული კონტრაქტი რომელიც ვადაგასულია პრობლემას წარმოადგენს ნერვიულობენ როგორც ვხვდები, სერვისის მოწოდება ისე გააგრძელეს კონტრაქტში ცვლილება არ არის შეტანილი. ვადა იყო 30 ივნისი.

ბანკის მხრიდან სიახლე როგორც კი გვექნება შეგატყობინებთ,

ნინო

Dear Mrs. Kvernadze,

Thank you for your feedback, it is a pleasure to be in contact with you!

As written in my previous email, the World Bank is not our client. I understand that your ministry is having an ongoing progress with WB but this does not effect our service contract for the ongoing provision of the app Stop Covid to your ministry. Therefor I request again to conclude the contract within this week as further delays will not be accepted by the app providers.

I remain at your disposal & always available for further details.

With best regards.

Michael Grabner
CEO

Dear Michael,

I am contacting with you on behalf of the COVID-19 Emergency Response Project.

For your information, all necessary information has been sent to the WB for no-objection purposes, since this activity has not been included in the initial procurement plan of the Project.

As soon as we receive their response, our procurement specialist Ms. Nino Gvenetadze will contact you to proceed further with the contract.

Thank you for your understanding.

Dear Maia,

I hope you are well & heathy!

With all do respect of your ongoing procedure with World Bank, we are insisting to conclude our contract & payment within September. Since more than 2 months we have no contract & the provider is not willing to proceed like that without a defined timeline and further action. I also want to point out that your ministry is our client, not the World Bank.

I highly appreciate your feedback & remain at your disposal.

All the best. Michael

Please, be kindly informed that we are in the process of finalizing formalities for procuring STOP COVID Application service as it was previously agreed.

The agreement will be drafted according to the World Bank requirements. As soon as they receive no objection (formal procedure) from the bank we will send you the draft contract for your further revision.

Once again sorry for inconvenience.

We are nearly 2 months without an agreement for Stop Covid. If your Ministry wants to continue with the App, we need to make the contract now.

Please get back to me so we can make the needed coordinations, thank you.

Subject: Re: Continuation of STOP COVID Application

Dear Maia,

It is possible to host the application yourself. There are some technical questions from our side:

Who shall be managing the backend to e.g. renew license keys and adapt new software versions of plugins?

How are you planning updates of operating systems that might involve both the mobile and backend application?

Will you be doing feature enhancements on all platforms (iOS, Android, backend) yourself?

Thank you for your feedback.

All the best. Michael

Dear Maia,

following our exchange since July 24 via WhatsApp, I am requesting the feedback of your Ministry, if Georgia wants to continue with the App „Stop Covid“.

We proposed & contracted the implementation + monitoring/service fee for a period of three months (April 14 – July 14, 2020). After three months, the service-fee is Euro 15,000 per month, which is not contracted yet. As a reference, please find our signed contract & invoice attached.

I highly appreciate your feedback at your earliest convenience & remain at your disposal.

With best regards    Michael
