The procurement function includes all actions necessary for the acquisition, by purchase or lease, of goods, works and/or services.
Procurement for development projects is by its nature complex and particularly so in a country like Afghanistan where deliveries are often of an urgent and crucial nature with logistics, including shipping and insurance, needing to be carefully managed to this very challenging destination. Wherever UNDP procurement is being undertaken however, the following principles apply:
- Products need to be carefully specified to ensure quality and fitness for purpose whilst ensuring value for money through competitive bidding and supplier neutrality.
- Service requirements need careful analysis with timely and exhaustive sourcing of qualified implementing partners or consultants to meet programme goals while ensuring transparency and best value for money.
