On 1 May 2008, the Procurement Division initiated a six-month pilot programme on vendor registration which included revised and streamlined registration criteria, and transferred the registration process to be conducted solely on-line at the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM) web site.
The pilot program was approved, for full implementation at UNHQ and to expand the pilot program under the guidance of UN/PD to include Peacekeeping Missions in coordination with the Department of Field Support (DFS) and OAHs at large.
The program is not yet mandatory for Local Procurement Offices; therefore they still adhere to the manual registration process.
At the end of this module, you will be able to:
Explain the vendor registration process followed at the HQ and the Local Procurement Offices
Describe the steps involved in the vendor registration process
List the functions of the Vendor Review Committee
State the criteria for evaluating the Vendor Registration Application
Discuss the steps involved in maintaining and updating the Register of Vendors
Explain the guidelines for suspension, removal, or reinstatement of a vendor
