Negotiation is not a mandatory step in a procurement process. It shall be undertaken on an exceptional basis, and shall be only initiated by UNDP subsequent to review of the procurement process by the relevant procurement authority and in accordance with this policy.The policy outlines the two types of ne ... Pre-award negotiation is the process in which the business unit discusses certain aspects of the bid with the bidder who has been recommended for the award of the contract, with the aim of understanding the rights and obligations of both parties and to achieve a mutually beneficial agreement. Negotiation is not a mandatory step in a procurement process. It shall be undertaken on an exceptional basis, and shall be only initiated by UNDP subsequent to review of the procurement process by the relevant procurement authority and in accordance with this policy. The policy outlines the two types of negotiations:
Price alone, under normal circumstances, should not be negotiated (especially in cases of open competition, which is designed to reflect true value for money). An exception can be made in a situation where the price quoted by the recommended offeror is deemed to be higher than market rates. Negotiation of price in Direct Contracting – When UNDP is evaluating only one offer, the price can and should be negotiated whenever necessary. EXPAND

New in Contract, Asset and Procurement Chapter:The purpose of Evaluation and Comparison of Offers is to ensure that the most qualified and responsive offer affords best value for money. Once a solicitation method and a forum for competition has been determined and tender documents distributed to potential Offerors, a Business Unit must ensure that adequate controls are in place for the receipt and evaluation of offers. Regardless of how effective each phase of the procurement process is executed, if the offers - quotations, bids or proposals - are not evaluated in a fair and transparent ...
