  • Local and/or National Competition

The types of solicitation practiced by UNDP are as follows:

Expression of Interest (EOI)

Request for Quotation (RFQ)

  • Less formal solicitation, value below US$ 100,000, standard specifications, product readily available on the market

Invitation to Bid (ITB)

  • Formal solicitation, mainly for goods, value above US$ 100,000, lowest price compliancy and technical competency determining factors

Request for Proposal (RFP)

  • Formal solicitation, mainly for services, value above US$ 100,000, requirements possibly met in various ways, overall best solution will win the contract, not necessarily lowest price

Green Procurement

As part of its commitment to the environment and sustainable management of natural resources, UNDP actively promotes and implements Green procurement by requiring its staff to conduct all activities, including contracting with other entities, in a resource-efficient manner. UNDP's Green procurement policy is based on the following four "R" strategies:

  • Re-thinking the requirements to reduce environmental impact;
  • Reduce materials consumption;
  • Recycle materials/waste; and
  • Reduce energy consumption

UNDP is therefore selective in its choice of products, processes and services, taking into consideration the effects of energy consumption, toxicity, ozone depletions, radiations, and the use of recycled materials.
