Solicitation Documents
For those wishing to do business with ESCAP, it is vital to understand
the dynamics of the United Nations system and how the organization's
activities are linked to each other.
The Procurement Unit (PU) is tasked with all procurement
activities relating to ESCAP. PU procures requisite commodities
through competitive solicitation from qualified vendors that are
registered in PU database of suppliers.
Solicitation is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an
Invitation to Bid (ITB) or as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) specifically:
|
|
RFPs are issued when requirements are not
specific and evaluation of offers is based on best value
in accordance with evaluation criteria. |
|
|
ITBs are issued when requirements are specific
and evaluation of offers is based on price and other price
related factors. |
|
|
RFQs are issued for low value procurement usually
where the requirement is specific and evaluation of offers
is based on price and other price related factors. |
As a general practice, most requirements above US$30,000 are
procured through either an RFP or ITB. Offers are evaluated on
the basis of best value for money and other procurement considerations, such
as delivery schedule and in comformity with required specifications. For more details, please contact us by email to ptu.unescap@un.org.
