Procurement Notices

We are pleased to inform that UNDP has implemented an on-line tendering system. The eTendering system is designed to facilitate the UNDP tender process through online interaction. The system aims to enhance the integrity and transparency of the tender process and also enables the streamlining of the procurement process: Bidders can use eTendering to submit their bids, view solicitation documents and receive automatic notifications from the system whenever an event has been modified.

 The eTendering system addresses UNDP’s fundamental procurement values, such as fairness, integrity, transparency and accountability.

 Some of the main benefits of the eTendering system are:

✓ Electronic sealed bids: The eTendering system encrypts the bids submitted in the system and does not allow anyone to view any information provided before the bidding deadline.

✓ Electronic stamping of the bids: The system stamps all information submitted by bidders and prevents anyone from altering, deleting, or adding anything to the bid after the deadline for submission.

✓ No late submissions are accepted: The system will automatically not accept any bid after the deadline.

✓ Streamlines the bidding process: Bidders can register in the system, retrieve all information and solicitation documents, and receive automatic notifications on certain stages of the procurement process. Bidders may also submit their bid online, edit it directly in the system, and receive automatic notifications once the evaluation is finalized and the contract is awarded.

✓ Provides an audit trail: As the eTendering system records all activity in the system, it keeps an audit trail for increased accountability and transparency.

 We are hereby sharing the scheduled online trainings for using the system for bidders, that will be conducted via Skype.

All participants can join the training sessions through the direct skype links provided in the tables below. The first two sessions will be conducted in English Language and  translations will be available in French (on 6th May) and Spanish (on 17th May), while the third session on 6th June will be delivered in Russian (with no translation).

 Additional training sessions will be organized in the next few months and their schedule will be timely announced.

 No registration is required to participate in the Skype sessions, but the number of participants is limited to 250 per session. Before attending a training session, bidders are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the eTendering system by reviewing the guides/videos available on eTendering Resources for Bidders on UNDP internet webpage.
