Global Health Procurement Center (GHPC)

The UNDP Central level Global Health Procurement Center (GHPC) comprises three teams

  1. Health Procurement Services team (HPS);
  2. Quality Assurance Services team (QAS); and
  3. Health Product Management Services team (HPMS).

The three teams work together to deliver on all health procurement projects across the organization.

The GHPC, is co-managed by BMS Office of Procurement (BMS/OP) and BPPS Global Fund Partnership and Health Systems Team (GFPHST), and integrates the up- and downstream functions of delivering health products and supply-chain management services to UNDP country offices and business units. Support to country offices include quality assurance for health products, establishment of contracts, sourcing, contract and vendor management, freight, in-country management and delivery services, while incorporating sustainability considerations in all service provisions.

The functions of the 3 teams are:

  1. Health Procurement Services team (HPS)

    The HPS Team is responsible for category management, support to COs, managing requests for non-standard / non-routine / complex products and services, providing tailored cost-effective supply-chain solutions and insurance coverage management support services, and ensuring seamless flow, integrity and accessibility of procurement and supply chain information.

  2. Quality Assurance Services team (QAS)

    The QAS Team develops and implements the UNDP QA policy across the organization, providing technical and regulatory compliance support before, during and after the procurement process of health products. The team reviews technical specifications, development of TORs, and technical evaluation of offers. It also assists in the development of TORs for testing laboratories, sampling, and inspection agencies, as well as quality-related issues that arise after procurement.

  3. Health Product Management Services team (HPMS)

    The HPMS Team works with COs to identify health product needs, ensure alignment with international best practices across the HPM cycle, respond to crisis and emergency situations, and support full compliance with any specific donor requirements as well as UNDP’s QA Policy.
