| Overview : Dear Sir/Madam, The Central Procurement Unit (CPU/PSU) in the Bureau for Management Services (BMS) provides procurement support services for UNDP business units in UNDP Headquarters by centrally coordinating all procurement transactions over USD5K. It currently serves the following Central Bureaus (CBx): BMS, Bureau for Policy and Programme Support (BPPS), Bureau for External Relation and Advocacy (BERA) and Crisis Bureau (CB), ensuring cost and time efficiency, required compliance and added value to clients. Those CBx identify procurement needs and make decisions, while CPU provides procurement services and guides the client through the process and decides on the best sourcing strategy.
