Procurement Notices

UNDP has proposed various greening initiatives to reduce its global carbon footprint. Such initiatives include energy efficiency measures, installation of solar PV systems for clean energy supply, and, not less notably, transition to an electric vehicle (EV) fleet. An objective of developing e-Mobility is to work with local players in the country to implement these solutions. This is key to the success of the organization's mandate, interconnecting technologies and people in pursuit of economic and social development and inspiring other players to enable widespread adoption. The values and opportunities offered through e-Mobility implementation include:

1.    Reduced dependence on fossil fuels;

2.    Reduced carbon emissions and local pollution throughout UNDP operations;

3.    Ensured business continuity;

4.    Increased energy efficiency;

5.    Increased awareness of the environmental benefits of fleet electrification.

 

1.1Sustainable Developmental Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate, environmental degradation, prosperity, and peace and justice. The Goals interconnect, and to leave no one behind; we must achieve each Goal and target by 2030.^[1]   

As a leading agency in the fight against climate change, UNDP is committed to “walking the talk” by demonstrating that we run our operations in a resource-efficient, sustainable, and accountable way. 

This RFQ aims to select a private sector company based on a competitive process to supply the UNDP with an electric vehicle for representational purposes. The successful bidder will be required to collaborate with UNDP Jamaica to ensure the seamless delivery of one electric vehicle and the installation of charging station that meets the requirements listed in the Minimum Technical Specifications of this RFQ, and in particular section 3.3 and 3.4. The EV will serve UNDP’s daily operations, most of which will be city commutes.
