How can I register as a
supplier to ESCAP? |
| |
By sending a completed application with a brief
summary of your product/service range accompanied; by a short-form
brochure if any, and the most recent annual report or financial
statement to determine if your company supplies products/services
which we purchase. |
| 2 |
I have been approved as an ESCAP vendor
but I have never been invited to bid. |
| |
This may be because the product or service
you offer is rarely required, and we simply haven't needed
to buy any.
|
| 3 |
I heard there is a bid going on for
"xyz" product or service. I want to participate.
Who shall I contact? |
| |
You are encouraged to contact our offices.
Please note that you will be required to undertake the same
registration process before your company would be considered. |
| 4 |
Are ESCAP purchases tax/duty free? |
| |
As an inter-governmental organization, ESCAP
is exempt from payment of al taxes and duties for all its
purchases. |
| 5 |
Does ESCAP conduct purchases for the
whole United Nations system? |
| |
No. ESCAP organizes procurement for the ESCAP
Secretariat, and associated programmes/projects only. Other
UN agencies, funds, and programmes carry out their own procurement
activities within their own established rules. |
| 6 |
How does the ESCAP pay suppliers? |
| |
ESCAP standard payment terms are net payable
in 30 days upon receipt of invoice and delivery of goods or
performance of contractual services, whichever is later. ESCAP
do not issue letters of credit or make an advance payment. |
| 7 |
Does the United Nations require performance
guarantee? |
| |
ESCAP may require a successful contractor to
furnish performance bonds in the United Nations standard
format or similar forms of guarantee. The amount of performance
bonds/guarantees will vary depending on the nature of
the requirements. The United Nations may also include a liquidated
damages clause in its contractual documents in case adherence
to the schedule of delivery of goods or performance of
contractual services is critical to meet the requirements
of ESCAP. |
