The procurement of goods and services followed the Financial Rules, Regulations and Procedures of each Participating UN Organization. Participating UN Organization’s procured a variety of consulting, manufacturing, engineering and contracting services across the 8 thematic sectors: education, water/sanitation, health, housing, food security/agriculture, protection, governance and economic diversification.
When engaging in large scale procurement (typically over $100,000), the UN system follows international competitive bidding processes including:
- Invitation to Bid (ITB)– where companies are requested to bid against precise specifications;
- Request for proposal (RFP) – for consulting or similar services
The archived procurement opportunities that were advertised on this website are available here. The procurement opportunities page provided details regarding opportunities that were open for bidding for which .interested vendors could review and respond.
The Multi-Donor Trust Fund Office also maintains an updated table of UNDG ITF contract awards on the MDTF Office GATEWAY that provides information regarding the vendor and country that received the award, amount, type of good or service provided, and date of the award. The information is provided on a voluntary basis by the Participating UN Organizations to ensure transparency.
