UNHCR RFP 3008 - Request for Proposal the establishment of Frame Agreement(s) for the provision of auctioneering services in/from bonded warehouse(s)

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is seeking auction services for the disposal of vehicles through live and/or online auctions conducted from bonded warehouses, free zones, or other equivalent customs-controlled storage facilities.

UNHCR Global Disposal Services (GDS), part of the Global Fleet Management Section in Budapest, provides asset disposal services through auctions and logistics partnerships supporting UNHCR and other UN agencies globally.

Since its establishment in 2013, GDS has developed a global operational model for asset disposal and auction services that did not previously exist within the UN system. The service supports multiple UN agencies and has created measurable operational and financial value through efficient disposal processes and partnerships with auctioneers and logistics providers.

It is estimated that, over the next five years, approximately 286 tax-free vehicles may require disposal through such auction services for UNHCR alone. As UNHCR may also extend disposal support to other United Nations agencies in the future, the total volume of vehicles requiring such services may increase accordingly.

The following operational areas are considered key regions:

• Middle East
• Europe
• South Asia
• South America
