The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), on behalf of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), would like to hereby invite you to participate in this Invitation to Bid (ITB) for the establishment of Long-Term Agreements (LTAs) for the provision of Staff Augmentation services in the field of Software development and associated roles. the UNFCCC intends to establish LTAs with qualified providers of staff augmentation services capable of providing the profiles defined in this ITB Document. UNDP will conduct this procurement process which objective is to identify fully qualified and technically compliant suppliers that would, if successful in this exercise, sign LTAs with the UNFCCC for the provision of the abovementioned services. UNFCCC intends to award LTAs for the provision of the above-mentioned services to one or more suppliers for a period of no less than three (3) years. 

A Long-term Agreement is a framework contract established between the contracting agency and the selected supplier for the provision of goods and/or services defined at the start of the contract, for a predetermined amount of time. LTAs allow UN Agencies to contract the agreed goods and/or services during the agreed time period, at an pre-determined ceiling prices, without the need to tender in the open market. Therefore, suppliers that are successful in this exercise will conform a pool of "pre-vetted" suppliers onto which the UNFCCC will draw resources for the scope of works defined in the solicitation documents. UNFCCC will, under an eventual LTA, send requests for quotations or call-off orders to the successful suppliers, for deployments in accordance with the scope of works and professional profiles defined in the ITB Documents.
