Procurement

UNDP improves efficiency and reduces costs for the UN System by leading the establishment of joint Long-Term Agreements (LTAs) for various services. We partnered with over 70 UN Agencies to increase procurement capacity and improve the UN’s operational efficiency through joint procurement efforts that deliver upfront volume discounts.

What we offer:

Manage procurement of goods and services, including for common premises and common services delivery.
Establish LTAs for use under mutual recognition to help reduce UN System costs.
Capacity building & training in Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) certification.
Oversee committee reviews conducted for other UN entities.
Access to an online global supply catalogue and LTAs through an end-to-end supplier portal (Quantum).
