ANNEX II - UNOPS

10.1 Types of CEC for deployment of Contractors
There shall be two types of CEC for deployment of Contractors under the under the Agreement and
respective Call-Off Contract(s): A retainer CEC and a regular CEC. Each CEC type and the purpose of its
use is explained below:
10.1.1 A retainer CEC shall be issued for a period of time during which the services of the Contractor are
expected intermittently. The CEC on retainer basis will specify a “unit price” (e.g. hourly, daily fee
or monthly fee) and payments for the actually rendered services shall be made at the end of each
calendar month, or as otherwise agreed by UNOPS and the Consultant. For budgetary purposes, a
monetary cap will be determined when the respective Call-Off Contract under the Agreement is
awarded to the Consultant.
10.1.2 Contractors’ CEC other than retainer CEC shall be referred to as regular CEC. Regular CEC shall be
issued when services are required on a continuous basis throughout the contract period and payments
shall be made at the end of each calendar month, or as otherwise agreed by UNOPS and the
Consultant. Regular CEC shall be divided into two types according to the duration of contract
period:
(i) CEC of less than one month; and
(ii) CEC of one month or longer
10.2 CEC issuance
10.2.1 A number of administrative and other actions shall be taken by the Consultant prior to CEC issuance
to the Contractor, including but not limited to obtainment of:
(i) Medical Statement of Fitness, and
(ii) Evidence of medical insurance for ICs with contracts of one or more month, and
(iii) Complete a Designation of Beneficiary form.
It shall be the selected candidate’s responsibility to comply with the requirements listed above prior
to becoming a Contractor and the Consultant shall be responsible for enforcing this instruction and
for keeping proper records of the documentation for each deployed Contractor.
10.2.2 The Consultant shall ensure that issued CEC fully comply with the “Terms and Conditions for
deployment of Consultant’s Contractors” and any other terms and conditions of the Agreement and
respective Call-Off Contract.
10.2.3 Contractors will be under the supervision of UNOPS, which means that Contractors shall be
receiving their day-to-day work-related instructions from their UNOPS Managers (as shall be
stipulated in Contractor’s TOR). This requirement shall be accordingly reflected in each CEC issued
by the Consultant. The impact of this meaning on the requirement to provide professional liability
insurance is taken into consideration through amendment of Article 27 of the General Conditions for
UNOPS Contracts for Professional Services (Annex IV-C) as stipulated in the sub-article c, Article
2, Section I of the model Agreement.
10.2.4 UNOPS reserves the right to request a copy of each CEC for verification of the above stated
requirements.
10.3 Amendment and Extension of CECs
Any modification to CEC shall require a prior amendment of the respective Call-Off Contract under the
Agreement in writing between the Consultant and UNOPS duly signed by the authorized representatives of
the Consultant and the UNOPS.
