An ITB is a formal invitation to submit a bid, usually associated with requirements that are clearly and concisely defined, with an estimated procurement value of US$200,000 or more. Normally price is the sole determinant in making an award. Where all technical criteria are met, award is made to the lowest bidder.

An RFP is a formal request to submit a proposal, usually associated with requirements for services, which cannot be clearly or concisely defined, with an estimated procurement value of more than US$10,000. Price is only one of several factors comprising the evaluation criteria. Award is made to the qualified bidder whose bid substantially conforms to the requirement set forth on the solicitation documents and is evaluated to be the lowest cost to UNDP.

The Evaluation Committee consists of three to five members depending on the nature, complexity and value of the procurement activity. Furthermore, the Evaluation Committee is chaired by an experienced individual, usually a member of the UNDP Programme Section. The membership of the Evaluation Committee is approved by Senior Management of UNDP in the country.

In selecting the members of the evaluation team, the type of procurement being carried out is considered. Representatives from the funding source, the client organization, or national representatives may participate in the evaluation process only as observers. All observers and participants in the evaluation team sign a Declaration of Impartiality.

Since the procurement at UNDP is decentralized, the Country Office is responsible for managing the complete cycle of procurement. However The Procurement Oversight Unit (POU), an independent unit within the Bureau for Management Services, reviews contracts that exceed the delegated authority of the Business Unit.

The POU ensures that procurement undertaken by UNDP Business Units complies with relevant guidelines, and that procurement risks are properly assessed and mitigated.To ensure consistency across all offices and business units, UNDP uses standard bidding documents, which are available in English, Spanish and French.

UNOPS Project Management Services for Mine Action

UNOPS has been designated as a principal provider for mine action project services within the United Nations system. The UNOPS Mine Action Unit, established in early 1998, is directly responsible for all UNOPS involvement in mine action, including the execution of nearly all of the UN mine action support projects. The MAU includes specialized project management, technical and legal expertise, as well as appropriate support for fielding personnel and procurement of supplies. This unique combination of skills enables UNOPS to efficiently provide mine action project management services tailored to our clients needs. UNOPS acts in many ways:

UNOPS Clients / Programmes

UNOPS has been entrusted to manage mine action projects for various UN agencies since the early 1990s. The Mine Action Unit delivers a range of management and procurement services valued at about $25 million in 1999 and expected to reach $35 million in the year 2000.

UNOPS' major clients include UNMAS, UNDP and the UNOIP. UNOPS' involvement varies, depending on the country and the project. Sometimes funders of mine action call on UNOPS to assume full operational responsibility for an entire programme (e.g., Kosovo and N. Iraq). At other times, UNOPS is given responsibility for all UN support to a national programme; whereas in some cases UNOPS may be hired to manage only a single component, such as hiring international technical expertise in mine action. The programmes, listed below, are described in more detail in the country update sections of this Report.

UNMAS is the focal point for mine action within the UN system, as designated by the UN Secretary-General, and is responsible for coordinating all mine-related work funded by eleven UN departments and agencies, and for launching emergency mine action activities such as in Kosovo, or when natural disasters severely impact on a country's mine problem as in the floods in Central America and Mozambique. Over the past few years, UNOPS has worked with UNMAS by providing the programme management services necessary to implement programmes in Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kosovo, Mozambique, Nicaragua, the Sudan and Yemen and on global projects such as the Landmine Survivors Directory and the Land Mine Safety Handbook.

UNDP is generally responsible for mine action projects in stable development contexts, which generally focus on strengthening national institutional capacity to enable mine-affected countries to manage mine action programmes on their own over the long-term. UNOPS provides project management services necessary to support implementation of UNDP programmes in Angola, Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Cambodia, Chad, Croatia, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, Somalia, Sri Lanka, and Yemen and the UNA-USA "Adopt-a Minefield" programme.

The UN Office of the Iraq Programme manages the "Oil for Food Programme" established under Security Council Resolution 986. Since 1997, UNOPS has managed the integrated mine action programme in Northern Iraq on behalf of the UNOIP. Under this programme over 600 deminers have been trained and deployed, with the majority of teams now operating under local supervision, a mine action information database has been established with a Level One Survey conducted in 85% of the territory, over 2.5 square kilometers of mine fields cleared and an equal area marked for clearance, a network of emergency medical and prosthetics centers established and supported, and special efforts have been taken to develop a full range of local capabilities, including an indigenous mine detection dog programme, development and production of local mini-flail systems, and development of local mine action NGOs.

It is therefore of importance to provide the public sector with a clear strategy, i.e. to demand energy efficient applications and equipment and directing public spending towards higher-quality products. Energy efficient public procurement will provide cost- effective means to improve the energy intensity of the sector as slightly higher purchasing costs will pay back within a couple of years. On the other hand the availability of energy efficient products on the market will steadily increase, if the demand is rising. ff782bc1db
