Historique

UNDP partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. With offices in more than 170 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations.

Working in the Philippines for over 40 years already, UNDP continues to strengthen the country’s capacities at the national and local levels to promote democratic governance, sustainable management of natural resources, climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction and management, and resilience and peacebuilding. In all its programmes, UNDP integrates human rights and gender equality, advocating that everyone should have equal access to the benefits of development

In supporting various projects and programmes, UN/UNDP conducts various workshops / events across the Philippines.  The size and duration of the workshops / events may vary from small (10 resources and half a day) to large (100 resources and 5 days).  In this context, UNDP Philippines is looking to contract multiple facilitators who are based in different parts of the country to ensure the successful preparation and facilitation of the workshops.

Under the Long-Term Agreement (LTA) event documenters will be empaneled for different regions based on their current location (duty station) and these LTAs can be availed of by other UN agencies in Philippines under same terms and conditions.

 

Geographic Requirements

UNDP seeks to employ facilitators working in all parts of the country and it is a requirement that facilitators are already based in that region.

Candidates are requested to clearly state in their technical proposal their area of expertise (such as Governance, Peace Building, Environment, Climate Change, Monitoring, Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, etc.) and geographic region where they are based, according to the below categorization:

•       Metro Manila

•       ARMM

•       CAR

•       NCR

•       Region 1

•       Region 2

•       Region 3

•       Region 4

•       Region 5

•       Region 6

•       Region 7

•       Region 8

•       Region 9

•       Region 10

•       Region 11

•       Region 12

•       Region 13

 

Duty Station and Travel

The documenters on LTAs are expected to attend the activities as scheduled in the different areas identified as venues.  They might be required to travel outside their duty station (as identified in their proposal) for specific events and the documenters would make their own arrangements for travel and lodging. Payment of travel costs including tickets, lodging, etc. should be agreed upon, between the Hiring Unit of UN/UNDP and the documenter prior to travel.  All travel related expenses will be reimbursed on actuals, upon submission of original receipts.

 

LTA Contracting modality and Call-off mechanism: 

  • The LTA to be signed will a fixed daily fee for one year; however, UNDP does not warrant that any quantity of services will be purchased during the term of the LTA as this will depend on forthcoming needs. 
  • A percentage increase on the daily fee would, if justified, be agreed at the end of each year at the time of extension of the LTA for up to a maximum of three years.
  • Once the LTA is signed, if there is a specific requirement/event to be documented, the focal person in the UN/UNDP hiring unit would contact the top-ranking LTA holder for that Region (ranking to be set up as per evaluation method and criteria section below). Should this documenter not be available for the event, UNDP will contact the second ranked documenter in the Region and so on.
  • Upon receipt of this communication, the LTA documenter would have to confirm their availability for the assignment. If positive, s/he would inform UNDP of the expected travel/lodging costs (if applicable if the event requires travel). Upon review of the same, UNDP will send the documenter a written communication confirming the requirement in the form of a work order or purchase order sent by email. The order will include details on the location of the event, number of hours/days for work and other practical details. Price in the order will be based on daily fee included in the LTA contract and on the agreed travel costs. After the work order has been sent, no further costs would be reimbursed by UNDP (increased number of work days/hours, or increased travel costs) unless there is prior written authorization by UNDP.
  • Once the services are completed and have been approved by the hiring unit, the documenter will send the following for payment purposes: a) complete invoice indicating number of hours/days worked and travel costs (if any); b) supporting documentation (bills/vouchers) for reimbursements of travel costs if applicable; c) copy of the UNDP order for the assignment.

 

Contract management:

UNDP will regularly monitor the performance of these LTA holders, based on the following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

  • KPI 1: Responsiveness: documenters should respond and confirm their availability for the event within 1 day of UNDP’s notification by email/telephone/WhatsApp.
  • KPI 2: Timeliness of submission of reports to UNDP
  • KPI 3: Quality of reports are as per work order submitted.
  • KPI 4: Accuracy of payment documentation. Documenter shall provide complete payment documentation including accurate invoices with correct quantities, unit price, complete travel bills/vouchers for reimbursement, etc.
  • KPI 5: Communication and Reporting. Documenter shall communicate and provide reports in a timely and professional manner

 

UNDP would conduct performance reviews of these LTAs every six (6) months, which might include meetings with the LTA holders and feedback from other stakeholders.

 

If the documenter fails to meet UNDP’s performance requirements detailed above, s/he will receive in the first instance a warning to improve their performance. Continued failure to meet performance requirements may result in termination of the LTA.

 

Languages Required

English, Knowledge of Tagalog and other local dialects would be an asset.

 

 

Price Proposal and Schedule of Payments

Consultant must send a financial proposal based on Daily Fee in Pesos (PHP).

 

Note:

  • The daily fee should be all-inclusive of time spent during the event and time required for travel, consultation and preparation of reports.
  • UNDP will pay to the Consultants based on the number of days spent in an event
  • Payment will be made upon completion of assignment and submission and acceptance of the final report by the UNDP.
  • For contract purposes “daily” would be understood as 8 hours of work, and “half day” as 4 hours of work. 
  • Daily Fee will be the basis for UNDP to calculate rates below one-day duration: half-day rate will be 60% of daily fee.
