Procurement Procedures
UNDP in Papua New Guinea procures goods and services through competitive solicitations. The following methods are used for the procurement of goods and services:
Request for Quotation
The most flexible and least formal method that is applied for procuring goods, services and/or works. Vendors will be approached by the organisation or advertised to and asked to provide a written quotation. Selection criteria will be stipulated by UNDP, but could include a mixture of best price and best service. This type of contract applies to amounts of between $2,500 and $100,000
Invitation to Bid
An invitation to bid is usually used as a means of procurement when general - non technical goods or services are required. The successful bidder
usually has to meet specifications set by UNDP and is often judged on price - all other things being equal. This is normally the case when UNDP buys goods. An invitation to bid is used for contracts exceeding $100,000
Request for Proposal
A request for proposal is used to determine if a vendor has the best approach to solving a problem. It is usually used for more complex procurement - for example - hiring a consulting firm to design a project. This applies to contracts exceeding $100,000.
