The Procurement Oversight and Procurement Review Committees policy has been updated to reflect a systematic increase of standard procurement delegations and related procurement and financial thresholds, accounting for inflationary impacts since 2016, as follows:... The Procurement Oversight and Procurement Review Committees policy has been updated to reflect a systematic increase of standard procurement delegations and related procurement and financial thresholds, accounting for inflationary impacts since 2016, as follows: • Direct Review Authorities: The threshold for Direct Review by the Regional Advisory Committee on Procurement (RACP) and by the Advisory Committee on Procurement (ACP) Chairpersons has been increased from $500,000 to $700,000 (Paragraphs 47 and 53). Similarly, Direct Review by the Contracts, Assets and Procurement Committee (CAP) Chairperson has been increased from $200,000 to $300,000 to align with standard procurement delegations (Paragraph 53). Similar increases have also been implemented for Direct Contracting, Contract Amendments and Individual Contracts (Paragraph 53). • Delegated Procurement Authority (DPA): The Standard DPA for Resident Representatives (RRs) and Heads of Business Units (BU) is raised from $200,000 to $300,000 (Paragraph 52). • Head of BU Procurement Authority Without CAP Review: The procurement authority for Heads of BU without CAP review is raised from $50,000 to $70,000 (Paragraph 49). • Committee Reviews: The procurement threshold for Committee Review by RACP (max.) and by ACP (min.) for competitive procurement and amendments is raised from $2,000,000 to $2,500,000 (Paragraph 53). Ex-Ante Reviews for RACP and ACP are increased for RACP (min.) from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000, and for ACP (min.) from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. • Direct Contracting: Procurement thresholds for direct contracting reviews by CAP, RACP, and ACP Chairpersons are uniformly increased, with minimums and maximums adjusted to reflect higher operational flexibility. • Asset Disposal and Income Generation: The minimum threshold for asset disposal reviewed by the CAP Chairperson has been increased from $5,000 to $7,000. Income generation activities reviewed by ACP rise from $10,000 to $15,000. EXPAND

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...

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
