The threshold of Request for Quotations (RFQs) has increased from US$150,000 to US$200,000 to align with the increase in the delegated authority to Heads of Business Units with the continued systemic use of eTendering. This measure is mainstreamed in the launch of the new harmonized RFQ template established in collaboration with other UN Agencies by the HLCM Procurement Network. The RFQ is linked in clause 29 of the Procurement Methods policy.
