UNDP and procurement
UNDP operates on the ground in 166 countries. Its annual programme delivery has been growing steadily since 2000 and reached US$4.3 billion in 2006, of which US$2.5 billion were spent for goods and services.

The procurement function includes all actions necessary for the acquisition, by purchase or lease, of goods, works and/or services.

Procurement for development projects is by its nature complex and particularly so in a country like Afghanistan where deliveries are often of an urgent and crucial nature with logistics, including shipping and insurance, needing to be carefully managed to this very challenging destination. Wherever UNDP procurement is being undertaken however, the following principles apply:

  • Products need to be carefully specified to ensure quality and fitness for purpose whilst ensuring value for money through competitive bidding and supplier neutrality.
  • Service requirements need careful analysis with timely and exhaustive sourcing of qualified implementing partners or consultants to meet programme goals while ensuring transparency and best value for money.

A staff of experienced Procurement and Logistics Specialists based both at UNDP’s Country Office and at the programme sites in Kabul work to provide full procurement and logistic support to what is currently, UNDP’s largest country office programme. Contact us for more information.
