The Institutional or Corporate Contractor Agreement (ICA) is used by UN/PD to contract with institutions or corporate bodies for the provision of outside expertise or professional services. The ICA is a simplified form of a contract and is used where the project is straight-forward and not complex. Issuance of an ICA also obligates the funds allocated for the project. For more complex projects, a properly customized contract should be used.

ICAs may be used to procure services in such areas as interpretation, translation, editing, language training, public information, secretarial work, and clerical functions. In addition, ICAs may be used to procure consultancy services involving analysis of substantive issues, direction of seminars or training courses, preparation of documents for conferences, and writing of reports on matters requiring special expertise. Any changes to the terms of the ICA shall be subject to the approval of the Director, UN/PD.
