Contract formats used in UNDP:
Purchase Orders
In the case of goods valued at USD 2,500 or more procured by UNDP, contracts must be issued in the form of a written purchase order.
Institutional Services Contracts
Institutional services contracts are utilized to contract with an institution or other legal entity for professional services valued at USD 30,000 or less. The institutional services contract serves as a less formal agreement as the services may not be considered complex, warranting additional protective measures such as are standard in the professional services contract. (e.g., electrical wiring services valued at USD 25,000 for HQ)
Professional Services Contracts
Professional services contracts, on the other hand are employed to contract with an institution or other legal entity in order to perform professional services generally valued above USD 30,000, for specified deliverables.
Reimbursable Loan Agreement
Reimbursable Loan Agreement (RLA) is used when UNDP desires to engage the services of an individual who is working with an entity/institution, which will make available the Individual Consultant/Contractor to complete deliverables according to the defined terms of reference. In the RLA, the contractual relationship is between UNDP and the entity/institution.
Civil Works
Contracts for civil works are drawn up for the procurement of transportation, infrastructure, civil or environmental engineering services required by the Business Unit.
Long Term Agreements
A long-term agreement (LTA) is a mutual arrangement with Supplier to provide goods or services as required, over a specific period of time, with the quantity to be determined at prescribed prices or pricing provisions. LTAs are distinguished by the repeated nature of the transaction consequent of the relationship established between parties. Long-term purchase agreements are common practice to ensure a reliable source of supply goods and services at the lowest price.
Individual Contracting
The Individual Contract (IC) is used for the procurement of services of an individual to perform non-staff tasks in connection with clear and quantifiable deliverables which shall be listed in the contract and linked to payment. The IC may be used for highly specialized services (consultant) or for more routine services (contractor).
