Mandate: : IAPSO acts as a procurement agent for a range of clients including UN Agencies, bilateral development agencies, NGOs and developing country governments. It purchases for development projects and provides procurement training and advisory services such as the identification of requirements, preparation of specifications and bidding documents, market and supplier research, and bid evaluation.
Structure: IAPSO is part of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), but is financially independent. Purchasing is centralized at the UNDP office in Copenhagen. IAPSO has developed UN Web Buy as their e-procurement solution. UN Web Buy provides IAPSO staff with electronic catalogues of regularly purchased items for which IAPSO continually negotiates long-term agreements on behalf of its clients through a process of competitive bidding.

Registration: IAPSO serves as the secretariat for the United Nations Common Supply Database (UNCSD). Potential suppliers of commonly purchased items are encouraged to register with the UNCSD. To do so, suppliers must complete the form online at www.uncsd.org. Registration is free of charge. Suppliers should also look out for Expressions of Interest requests by IAPSO for long term agreements used to procure motor vehicles, pharmaceuticals, information technology and other goods. These expressions of interest are requested every one to two years, depending on the commodity and are announced in the procurement notices section of the IAPSO website at: http://www.iapso.org/supplying/procurement-notices.asp
Procurement Rules: In line with the UNDP's financial regulations, IAPSO typically uses open International Competitive Bidding to award contracts over $US 100,000.
Field Procurement: IAPSO places representatives in the field to facilitate their procurement services, however field agents work in close collaboration with the procurement staff in Copenhagen. There are currently field procurement officers in Jordan, Afghanistan and Uganda. Their contact information can be found at http://www.iapso.org/about/who_list.asp under the section IAPSO in the Field.
Finding Opportunities: IAPSO lists its procurement notices along with those of several UN agencies on its website at http://www.iapso.org/supplying/procurement-notices.asp Suppliers may also contact IAPSO personnel directly to market their services. Up-to-date contact names and telephone numbers can be found under "Who's Who" on the IAPSO website at http://www.iapso.org/about/who_list.asp
