The Procurement Officer/Assistant shall ensure that the solicitation documents include the text of the appropriate UN General Conditions of Contract (UNGCC). To the extent possible, the procurement staff will include in the solicitation documents a draft or contract template, and will request the vendor to certify the compliance within the contract terms and conditions or to propose new alternative language.

Any variance from the UNGCC and standard contract provisions should be assessed by the procurement staff during the financial and/or commercial evaluation as a potential risk for the Organisation.
