For procurement of goods, works and services
over $100,000, UNDP uses a process of international competitive
bidding. Wherever possible, advertisements for bids from UNDP
Liberia are placed here under
Procurement Notices, on
UNDP
headquarters website, or in the UN publication
'Development
Business'.
UN Agencies and Organizations in many cases procure through
the UNDP’s InterAgency for Procurement Services Organization
(IAPSO) at
http://www.iapso.org/.

Procurement processes
Solicitation procedures for the procurement of goods, services
and works
UNDP procures goods and services through competitive solicitations.
The following methods are used for the procurement of goods
and services:
Request for Quotation (RFQ)
The most flexible and least formal method that is applied
for procuring goods, services and/or works. RFQ’s call for
a written quotation
RFQ applies to contracts exceeding the range $2,500 but less
than $100,000
Invitation to Bid (ITB)
An ITB is normally used whenever the entity is not required
to propose technical approaches to a project activity, or
to offer management or supervision of an activity. ITB’s are
used when the entity is to provide its cost requirements to
meet precise specifications sought from UNDP. This is normally
the case when UNDP buys goods. It may also apply to work contracts
and services that can be expressed quantitatively and qualitatively.
ITB applies to contracts exceeding $100,000
Request for Proposal (RFP)
RFP is used when the inputs and/or outputs cannot be quantitatively
and qualitatively expressed at the time the invitation is
made, as for example consulting or similar services are sought.
A RFP may also be used for purchase of complex goods when
you are not sure of the functional specifications and wish
to seek proposals.
RFP applies to contracts exceeding $100,000.00
Bidding procedures:
All submissions for ITB’s or RFP’s should be submitted by
the closing date and time indicated on the solicitation documents
by one of the methods outlined below:
1) delivery by hand to UNDP Liberia’s Registry – observing
the sealed envelope and marking requirements noted in the
solicitation documents.
2) courier service – observing the sealed envelope and marking
requirements noted in the solication documents.
Delivery address:

Some bids may invite suppliers to a public bid opening. Suppliers
are asked to be present at least half an hour before the scheduled
bid opening time. Any supplier arriving after this time will
not be permitted to attend.
