Table 3. Cost effectiveness of procurement services in 2002

Objective The main objective of Procurement Services is to ensure efficient and cost effective procurement of goods and services required for carrying out of all UNIDO activities.

The Procurement Services should investigate ways in which the procurement plan can be enhanced as a tool in the management of the entire procurement process.

The income and expenditures relating to procurement services amounted to

The Programme is divided into two components G.3.1 Procurement Services and G.3.2 Logistics Services.

The report's 10 recommendations therefore focused on enhancing the productivity of procurement services, through measures such as benchmarking practices increased training of procurement staff strengthening of common procurement services for co located organizations, especially in New York, Geneva, Vienna, Nairobi and field duty stations and the introduction of electronic procurement methods or e procurement.

The objective should read To ensure efficient, effective and diversified procurement opportunities and high quality procurement services for the Organization.

Table 3 attempts to illustrate the cost effectiveness of the organizations' procurement services in 2002 by using the human resource factor, which in most cases represents over 95 per cent of the costs of procurement services or total procurement cost.

UNICEF is now providing procurement services for ARVs in 39 countries.

Establishment of a unified system of reporting and accountability for procurement services

UNICEF agrees to benchmark its procurement services with United Nations and other public procurement services, considering each organization's specificities to determine whether the level of its handling charge for cost recovery is appropriate.

Building on its long history of supply support, both within country programmes and increasingly as procurement services support, UNICEF will offer a mix of programme and procurement services to Governments as a unified basket of support.

Procurement services activities continue to be an important component of the trust fund accounts.

Procurement staff mobility, including working, coaching or study visits, staff exchanges, loans, secondments and transfers among the procurement services, should be part of the networking agenda.

In paragraph 272, the Board recommended that the UNICEF procurement services benchmark with United Nations and other public procurement services, considering each organization's specificities, to determine whether the level of its handling charge for cost recovery is appropriate.

This included receipts for procurement services and from GAVI and the Southern Sudan Economic Commission.

(viii) when the proposed procurement contract relates to obtaining services that cannot be evaluated objectively

Chapter II focuses on the fundamental issue of the cost effectiveness of the organizations' procurement services.

For organizations with centralized procurement services, the low procurement volume per staff member and relatively high overhead costs can be attributed to the fragmentation of the procurement function at different duty stations so much so that organizations located together in New York, Geneva, Vienna or Copenhagen are still to begin sharing procurement overhead services and costs, for example through common service arrangements discussed later in this report.

If this strategy for reorganizing common services at Geneva is implemented, then three procurement services (one at each of the centres) should ultimately replace the numerous services now operating at Geneva.
