HOW UNDP PROCURES GOODS
SERVICES AND WORKS
UNDP procures goods and services through competitive solicitations.
The following methods are used:
Request
for Quotation (RFQ)
This is the most flexible
and least formal method that is applied for procuring goods, services
and/or works. RFQ's call for a written quotation.
RFQ applies to contracts exceeding the range $2,500 but less than
$100,000
Invitation
to Bid (ITB)
An ITB is normally used whenever
the entity is not required to propose technical approaches to a
project activity, or to offer management or supervision of an activity.
ITB's are used when the entity is to provide its cost requirements
to meet precise specifications sought from UNDP. This is normally
the case when UNDP buys goods. It may also apply to work contracts
and services that can be expressed quantitatively and qualitatively.
ITB applies to contracts exceeding $100,000
Request
for Proposal (RFP)
RFP is used when the inputs
and/or outputs cannot be quantitatively and qualitatively expressed
at the time the invitation is made, as for example consulting or
similar services are sought. A RFP may also be used for purchase
of complex goods when you are not sure of the functional specifications
and wish to seek proposals.
RFP applies to contracts exceeding $100,000
