Multi-Donor Trust Funds & Joint Programmes

PROCUREMENT PROCEDURES

The Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) Office, UNDP, is the Administrative Agent for multi-donor trust funds and joint programmes entrusted to it by the UN system and not an executing Office. Therefore, any procurement inquiries and requests should be addressed to the relevant Participating UN Organizations http://www.undp.org/mdtf/un-organizations.shtml or http://www.undp.org/mdtf/non-un-organizations.shtml.

CONTRACT SCAM ALERT

As a matter of practice, UNDP does not charge any registration fee or any other type of fee to potential suppliers who are interested in participating in its competitive procurement process. Potential suppliers should be aware that only the Participating UN Organizations of the UNDG Iraq Trust Fund, or any other multi-donor trust fund, are contracting authorities and award of contracts are made by UN Organizations following their respective procurement rules and procedures and do not use intermediaries for contract award purposes.

We have been specifically made aware that entities or individuals using names such as "Tony Marchant" and claiming to represent UNDP or the UNDG Iraq Trust Fund continue to send fraudulent messages to potential suppliers regarding UN contract Awards.

The purpose of these fraudulent messages is to get potential vendors to pay so-called registration fees. Since logos, emblems, names and addresses can be easily copied or reproduced, vendors are strongly advised not to communicate and respond to such fictitious contract awards.

If you believe that you have received such a communication, please forward it, and any other related information you have received, to scamalert@undp.org.
