What's New
Recently updated
Recently updated

The policy has been updated to reflect UNDP's transition to its new cloud-based management platform Quantum/UNall in January 2023, replacing the use of the ACP online site. Quantum has integrated procurement processes with UNall, with procurement oversight review incorporated in the workflow of the procurement process. |
|
The Procurement Oversight and Procurement Review Committees policy was updated to reflect the streamlining of direct review for ACP/RACP Chairs that was approved in 2018 by BMS. |
|
UNDP has changed its asset capitalization threshold from US $1,500 to US $5,000. This policy change will significantly reduce the volume (i.e. quantity) of assets in the asset register, thereby allowing UNDP to focus attention on higher value items. The change in policy should also result in a more effective verification and certification process. Clause 53 of the Procurement Oversight and Procurement Review Committees policy has been updated accordingly. |
|
Notes for the Ex-Ante in Section 54 of the Procurement Oversight and Procurement Review Committees policy was updated to reflect streamlining measures recently set forth by the Bureau of Management Services that provide exemptions from the need to submit for ex-ante review for successful previous experience and repetitive country specific (local) LTAs for country office operations supports such as for travel, security, and cleaning services, as there is sufficient specific corporate guidance and templates on the procurement of the said goods/services. |

The requirement for Contracts, Assets and Procurement (CAP) Committee review was replaced with Direct Review by the CAP Chairperson for procurement actions valued between US$ 50,000 and US$ 150,000 (and US$ 75,000 for direct contracting). The CAP Chairperson may consult or request assistance from the Chairperson of the Regional Advisory Committee for Procurement (RACP) in reviewing any procurement action. If necessary, the CAP Chairperson, in consultation with the Head of Office, may escalate the case to the RACP Chairperson for his or her Direct Review. A full CAP Committee review is required ...

The CAP Chairperson may consult or request assistance from the Chairperson of the Regional Advisory Committee for Procurement (RACP) in reviewing any procurement action. If necessary, the CAP Chairperson, in consultation with the Head of Office, may escalate the case to the RACP Chairperson for his or her Direct Review. A full CAP Committee review is required only in those Country Offices that are granted an Increased Delegation of Procurement Authority (DPA) to review procurement actions valued between US$ 150,000 and the Increased DPA for competitive processes (and between US$ 75,000 and up to 50 percent of the Increased DPA for direct contracting). The quorum for a Committee was reduced from three members to two members, in addition to the Chairperson and/or Secretary. EXPAND
