ANNEX II-A TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE DEPLOYMENT OF CONSULTANT’S CONTRACTORS 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND 1.1 The “Terms and Conditions for the deployment of Consultant’s Contractors” is an integral part of the Agreement, thus cannot be governed by national legislation in the countries where UNOPS operates. 1.2 The Agreement is used by UNOPS to procure professional manpower services provided by Contractors deployed through Consultant in their individual capacity to perform a specific function, task or deliver a specific piece of work. 1.3 Contractors do not benefit from the privileges and immunities applicable to United Nations staff members. The status of Contractors is governed by Section 4 of this document (“Legal Status, Rights, and Obligations”). 1.4 The rules and procedures set forth in this document follow UN human resources principles on personnel selection and administration and the UNOPS Individual Contractor Agreement Policy except for UN Security standards that do not apply to Contractors. 1.5 The terms and conditions described in this document have been developed to respond effectively to the dynamic environment in which UNOPS operates, and to ensure rational use of procedures to deploy Contractors throughout all UNOPS business units. 2.0 DURATION OF CONTRACTORS’ SERVICES 2.1 Duration of Contractors’ deployment under the Agreement and respective Call-Off Contract 2.1.1 The deployment of Contractors under the Agreement and respective Call-Off Contract(s) is intended solely to accommodate specific services for a period ranging from one (1) hour to a maximum of one (1) year at a time. The deployment of Contractors under the Agreement and respective Call-Off Contract(s) may be extended, subject to satisfactory performance, up to the following maximum duration: (i) International Contractors and Local Contractors in the specialist category (see 3.1.1 (ii) below): Up to a total contract period of three (3) years; (ii) Local Contractors providing support services (see 3.1.1 (i) below): Up to a total contract period of three (3) years or up to the total duration of the project under which they are deployed, whichever is longer. 2.1.2 The deployment of Contractors under the Agreement and respective Call-Off Contract(s) carries no expectation of any future deployment of Contractors with UNOPS. However, the Contractors are not precluded, during or after the contract period, from applying as an external candidate to any UNOPS vacancy, be it for Individual Contractor Agreement or for a staff member position. 3.0 FUNCTIONS 3.1 Support or Specialist Functions 3.1.1 Contractors shall be deployed by UNOPS for a defined period of time (see maximum duration in para. 2.1.1 above) to provide: (i) Support services such as administrative and secretarial support, driving, maintenance of buildings and grounds, translation and interpretation, semi-skilled labour or; (ii) Specialist services such as expert advisory services, technical skills and/or knowledge.
