vision of empowered lives and resilient nations, UNDP must procure a significant volume of goods and services. As a public organization entrusted with donor funds and committed to supporting developing economies, UNDP works to improve access to quality assured supplies in a cost effective and reliable way. We do this by abiding the following principles:</p><ul><li><strong>Best Value for Money</strong>, which consists of the selection of the offer that best meets the end-users’ needs and that presents the best return on investment. Best Value for Money is the result of several factors, including quality, experience, the vendor’s reputation, life-cycle costs and benefits, and parameters that measure how well the good or service allows the organization to meet its social, environmental or other strategic objectives.<br> </li><li><strong>Fairness, Integrity and Transparency</strong>, which ensures that competitive processes are fair, open, and rules-based. All potential vendors should be treated equally, and the process should feature clear evaluation criteria, unambiguous solicitation instructions, realistic requirements, and rules and procedures that are easy to understand.<br> </li><li><strong>Effective International Competition</strong>, understood as giving all potential vendors timely and adequate information on UNDP requirements, as well as equal opportunity to participate in procurement actions, and restricting them only when it is absolutely necessary to achieve UNDP development goals; and<br> </li><li><strong>In the best interest of UNDP</strong>, which means that any business transactions must conform to the mandates and principles of UNDP and the United Nations.</li></ul><p>UNDP has to strictly observe its financial rules and regulations. While this may sometimes lengthen the procurement process, UNDP delegates a significant amount of authority to its Country Offices, has introduced more flexible methods for low-value/low-risk purchasing, and approves purchase orders electronically, all of which save time and money for the organization and its vendors.</p> </div> <div class="coh-wysiwyg ssa-component coh-component ssa-component-instance-b4278a79-c257-4795-b6a3-d5c6cc8673d0 coh-component-instance-b4278a79-c257-4795-b6a3-d5c6cc8673d0" > <p><strong>Supplying the United Nations</strong></p><ul><li><a href="http://procurement-notices.undp.org/">UNDP Procurement Notices</a></li><li><a href="http://procurement-notices.undp.org/view_awards.cfm">UNDP Contract Awards</a></li><li><a href="http://www.ungm.org/">UN Global Marketplace</a></li><li><a href="https://popp.undp.org/">UNDP Policies and Procedures</a></li></ul><p><strong>Delivering on the SDGs – Annual Report 2017</strong></p><p>The UNDP Annual Report 2017 presents an overview of all procurement activities and examples from the field.</p><p><a href="https://www.undp.org/sites/g/files/zskgke326/files/undp/library/corporate/Procurement/english/AR2017.PDF">Download Annual Report 2017 - English (PDF)</a></p><p><a>Download Procurement Snapshot 2015 - English ( PDF)</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div id="block-undpsolrsearch" data-block-plugin-id="undp_solr_search_block"> <section id="modal-cse-search" class="menu-modal modal-popular-search hide"> <div class="modal-content" data-modal-search=""> <div class="modal-body grid-container"> <div class="search-results"> <div class="grid-x grid-margin-x"> <div class="cell"> <form class="ajax-undp-custom-search" data-drupal-selector="ajax-undp-custom-search" action="/procurement" method="post" id="ajax_undp_custom_search" accept-charset="UTF-8"> <div class="search-input big-search"> <div class="icon"> <span class="search-icon"></span> </div> <div class="js-form-item form-item js-form-type-textfield form-type-textfield js-form-item-search form-item-search form-no-label"> <label for="edit-search" class="visually-hidden">Search</label> <input data-drupal-selector="edit-search" type="text" id="edit-search" name="search" value="" size="60" maxlength="128" class="form-text" /> </div> </div> <input class="hide button js-form-submit form-submit" data-drupal-selector="edit-submit" type="submit" id="edit-submit" name="op" value="Submit" /> <input id="search-results-start" data-drupal-selector="edit-start" type="hidden" name="start" value="1" /> <input id="search-results-sort" data-drupal-selector="edit-sort" type="hidden" name="sort" value="" /> <input id="search-results-filter" data-drupal-selector="edit-filter" type="hidden" name="filter" value="1" /> <input id="search-results-lang" data-drupal-selector="edit-lang" type="hidden" name="lang" value="en" /> <input data-drupal-selector="edit-ajax-undp-custom-search" type="hidden" name="form_id" value="ajax_undp_custom_search" /> <input data-drupal-selector="form-5vi1iix-eg7vbdyvadipblie1qvb7lij-8dcdprh7w" type="hidden" name="form_build_id" value="form-5vI1iix-_eg7VBdyVADiPBlie1qVb7lIJ-8DcdprH7w" /> <div id="search-results"> <div class=" search-results-stats"> <div class="grid-x grid-padding-x"> <div class="auto cell"> <div> Found <span class="total-results">0</span> results. <div class="did-you-mean">Did you mean <a href="" data-new-search=""></a> ?</div> </div> </div> <div class="shrink cell"> <div class="select-box" data-select=""> <button type="button" aria-haspopup="listbox" aria-label="Select" data-select-open=""> Sort by </button> <ul role="listbox" data-select-options=""> <li role="option" tabindex="0" data-value=""> <span>Relevancy</span> </li> <li role="option" tabindex="0" data-value="date"> <span>Date</span> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="search-results-filter tabs"> <ul role="tablist"> <li class="tabs-title is-active"> <a href="#" aria-selected="true" role="tab" data-value="1">This site</a> </li> <li class="tabs-title"> <a href="#" aria-selected="false" role="tab" data-value="">All UNDP</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="search-results-ai-summary"> <div class="content"></div> <div class="footnote"> <div class="ai-icon"> </div> <div>This summary is generated by Google AI, and its accuracy and relevance may vary.
