  14. 1. PROCUREMENT IN BRIEF

  15. 1. PROCUREMENT IN BRIEF Mission Mission:Support UNFPA Programmes and Partners to deliver reproductive health results through procurement and supply chain management services Procurement = Strategic component of programme

  16. 1. PROCUREMENT IN BRIEF Statistics

  17. 1. PROCUREMENT IN BRIEF Organization • Procurement Services Branch in Copenhagen (ISO 9001 certified since 2007) • Commodity and Security Branch in New-York

  18. 1. PROCUREMENT IN BRIEF Staff • All procurement staff have to be CIPS accredited • ”License to practice”

  19. 2. PROCUREMENT STRATEGY

  20. 2. PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Shift from process-oriented activities towards supply chain management Major Outcome: • Increased support to programme via better coordination and communication with external partners, suppliers, donors, etc. • Actions aligned and break down silos

  21. 2. PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Value for money through partnerships and strategic approaches • Partner with stakeholders through the Reproductive Health Supplies Coalition to shape RH markets • Engage the pharmaceutical sector jointly & collaboratively

  22. 2. PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Value for money through partnerships and strategic approaches • Align own actions with the "asks" of critical suppliers for better procurement terms (commitment to minimum quantity, etc.) • Work together with other large procurers, major donors and other partners

  23. 2. PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Value for money through partnerships and strategic approaches • UNFPA alone: US$ 4.5 million on only 3 critical products • Entire reproductive health community: US$ 12 million on only 2 critical products

  24. 2. PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Value for money through partnerships and strategic approaches Impact on programme results: • UNFPA alone: 250,000 additional women having access to implants • Entire reproductive health community: 700,000 additional women

  25. 2. PROCUREMENT STRATEGY Value for money through partnerships and strategic approaches • Such results could not have been achieved if UNFPA had been operating alone/in silos • Programme results can be demonstrated through strategic procurement actions

  26. 3. CURRENT PROJECT

Current Project: AccessRH An innovative supply chain management initiative that contributes to capacity-building (www.myaccessrh.org) • Reduction in delivery times • Competitive prices for on line ordering of contraceptives, medical equipment & kits • Quality of products (pre-qualified suppliers & tested products) • Timely information on shipments • Access to comprehensive RH data
