| Overview : The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) operates under a decentralized business model, where procurement is delegated to over 170 Country Offices, Regional Bureaus, Regional Offices, and Headquarter Unites within and outside of New York, who are all responsible for the results and management of procurement business processes in accordance with the established procurement policies, processes and procedures. UNDP procurement has experienced explosive growth in the past ten years, with its portfolio totaling over US$3 billion, making UNDP one of the three largest procurement organizations in the UN. The Procurement Support Office (PSO) in the Bureau of Management (BoM) has officially launched the Central Procurement Unit (CPU) in New York in September 2010. CPU provides procurement services for UNDP business units and ensures cost and time efficiency, required compliance and added value to clients. Routing your procurement requests through CPU will lead to a quicker turn-around time, and higher quality, cost effective outcome. CPU provides services for all transactions including goods and services amounting to USD 5,000 or above for BoM HQ units, and USD 100,000 or above for other HQ units in need of reimbursable services to handle high volume and complex procurement cases. CPU requires a Procurement Consultant to support the procurement needs of the office and deliver the procurement objectives. UNDP,BoM/PSO would like to invite applications for the position of a Procurement Consultant for a period of 12 months. Any request for clarification must be sent in writing, or by standard electronic communication to the address or e-mail dedicated for this purpose: ugyen.tobgay@undp.org and cc to karla.dalimunthe@undp.org. UNDP will respond in writing or by standard electronic mail and will send written copies of the response, including an explanation of the query without identifying the source of inquiry, to all interested consultants.
