UNFPA Procurement
Services:
Specializing in Contraceptives and Related Items
For more than 30 years, the United Nations Population
Fund (UNFPA) has been procuring contraceptives and related commodities
for the developing world. Through its extensive experience and
solid track record, UNFPA is today the largest public sector procurer
of these items. UNFPA offer a ‘best value’ procurement service
for the prospective public sector purchaser of contraceptives
and related products. We are guided by the need for economy and
efficiency in project implementation. Our cutting edge methods
and procedures aim at achieving effective international competition;
and in promoting fairness, transparency and integrity in public
procurement.
To provide access to impartial expert advice, encourage supplier
neutrality in procurement; to respond quickly to urgent and emergency
requests and to offer quality goods and services in appropriate
quantities at the right price, at the right place and RIGHT time
for use in projects.
With our more than 30 years experience, we aim at reducing delivery
times and prices through continuous improvement of our procedures
and information sharing between ourselves, vendors, our clients
and other partners involved in procurement of reproductive health
commodities.
Our
Clients cover a large range of organizations and institutions
from all over the world. They include UNFPA field offices, Governments,
NGOs, World Bank Borrowers as well as other UN organizations.
UNFPA
does business with vendors from all over the world. Our seventy
major vendors received contracts totaling over US$94 million
in year 2003. Approximately one third of the contracts went
to developing countries. UNFPA is actively working at increasing
its sources of supply from developing countries. UNFPA believes
in having a partnership with its suppliers. For more information,
