ANNEX II - UNOPS

Prospective Agreement shall not accord any exclusivity to the Consultant with respect to the services
described herein. UNOPS shall have no limitation on its right to obtain services of the same kind, quality and
quantity from any other source at any time.
Consultant may be requested to provide the services on terms other than that specified in this document to
any country worldwide where UNOPS has emergency or development projects. Such provision of services
would be requested by UNOPS on a case by case basis and, if agreed, such terms shall be recorded, together
with any adjusted price, in the Call-Off Contract and that Call-Off Contract shall be governed by such terms
as well as the provisions of the prospective Agreement that are not inconsistent with such terms.
4.2. Process of deployment in brief
Upon receipt of UNOPS request for Contractor(s), the Consultant will provide UNOPS with the details of 3
to 5 suitably qualified and available candidates per position within maximum 10 working days from the date
of request. Should the proposed candidates be deemed to be unsuitable by UNOPS, the Consultant will
provide UNOPS with the details of next 3 to 5 suitably qualified and available candidates and will continue
doing so until a suitable Contractor is selected by UNOPS.
The Consultant shall ensure that proposed candidates make themselves available for interview by UNOPS, if
necessary.
UNOPS shall assess proposed candidate(s)’ qualifications either through desk review of the proposed
candidate(s) CVs or through interview of the proposed candidate(s) and, upon satisfactory completion of
background and reference checks by the Consultant, will approve the selection of the Contractor(s) deemed
suitable and qualified for the performance of the required duties.
Upon Consultant’s confirmation that the selected candidate is medically fit and has accepted to work under
the terms and conditions as specified in the Agreement, UNOPS will issue a Call-Off Contract to the
Consultant for the services of the selected Contractor(s).
The Consultant will then contract and mobilize the selected Contractor(s) within maximum 4 weeks, or as
otherwise agreed, following UNOPS’ written approval.
4.3. Parties’ responsibilities:
UNOPS’ and Consultant’s responsibilities under the prospective Agreement and respective Call-Off
Contract(s) are described respectively in the Sections 5 and 6 below.
5. UNOPS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
UNOPS expects to work in close partnership with the Consultant towards achieving UNOPS objectives,
regardless of the level of UNOPS’ presence in the Countries of Services.
It must be noted that the current level of UNOPS’ presence in the Countries of Services varies from nonexistent
to significant. In some of the Countries of Services such as Afghanistan and Sudan UNOPS is
represented through large Operations Centres and number of field offices in the regions and provinces of
those countries, in other countries such as Iraq and Somalia UNOPS presence is limited with small to
medium project offices and UNOPS has very limited access to high-risk areas in those countries.
Thus, in the event that suitable level of support services cannot be provided to the Contractors directly, as
determined by UNOPS due to any existing constraints or limitations, a similar standard support services will
be provided to Consultant through a disbursement cost.
In this spirit, UNOPS intends to provide the Consultant with the following support services or reimburse the
Consultant as and when considered necessary for the execution of the assignment undertaken by the
Contractor(s):
