Mandate: The ILO is a tripartite organization of governments, employers and workers that creates international labour standards. It promotes basic human rights, improved working conditions and enhanced employment opportunities and supports these efforts through training, education, research and publication.
Structure: The ILO works through 54 field offices worldwide. The Procurement Section in Geneva oversees all ILO procurement procedures and facilitates the contracting of large orders. Field or project offices are authorized to purchase goods and services, which accounts for the bulk of the ILO's local procurement.

Registration: The ILO relies on the United Nations Common Supply Database (www.uncsd.org) to create shortlists of suppliers for a given competition. Registered suppliers are also encouraged to market their company and product range directly to the ILO Procurement Section.
Procurement Rules: Contracts over US$70,000 are open to ICB (called Open International Competition by the ILO) to registered suppliers. For complex or specialized goods or services, pre-qualification may also be undertaken through advertising.
Field Procurement: Field offices are authorized to procure goods locally up to an order value of US$20,000, provided that the items are readily available in country at competitive prices.
Finding Opportunities: Contracts over US$70,000 in value are in most cases advertised in UN Development Business (www.devbusiness.com) and on the IAPSO website (www.iapso.org).
