5 Introduction United Nations procurement delivery in 2011 has decreased slightly in comparison to the previous year. The total UN procurement volume has decreased by $268 million over the previous year, representing a decrease of 1.9 percent. In terms of procurement of goods and services, procurement of goods decreased by $10 million, while procurement of services decreased by $258 million over The 2011 data further confirms that the UN s requirement for services exceeds that of goods, reversing the trend of previous years where the proportion of goods procured far outweighed that of services contracted. The 2011 report analyzes procurement from developing countries and countries with economies in transition, and examines United Nations system performance in increasing opportunities for vendors in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. Significant progress has been made towards achieving that objective (refer to Figures 4-8 in the Executive Summary for further details). In addition, the 2011 report looks at procurement by United Nations organizations from vendors that support the Global Compact. The Compact measures engagement by the United Nations system with companies that take corporate social responsibility seriously, an increasingly important consideration in the global marketplace. The number of vendors that have signed the Global Compact has almost doubled over the past five years and currently has approximately 10,000 members. While United Nations organizations give no preferential treatment to Compact signatories, the volume of procurement with registered Global Compact vendors shows an increase of six percent over the period The distribution of countries and territories used in the report has been revised to follow those used by the Statistics Division, Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) of the United Nations. In previous reports the designations used were developing countries, countries with economies in transition and industrialized countries. The 2011 report uses the following designations developing countries, countries with economies in transition and developed countries. The designations developing, in transition and developed are intended for statistical convenience and do not necessarily express a judgment about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process. The 2011 statistical report features an annual thematic supplement, now in its fourth year, that focuses on current issues in procurement. For 2011, the focus of the supplement is on the issue of transparency and its effects on public procurement in the context of the global move towards creating a more accountable and robust system of development cooperation. The supplement provides an overview of the benefits and challenges of transparency, as well as case studies and contributions from practitioners and experts. This publication has been produced by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) on behalf of the United Nations system of organisations. UNOPS is grateful to the United Nations organizations listed in Table 2 on page five for their continuous support and contributions that make the publication possible. UNOPS hopes that this report provides useful information on the breadth and spectrum of United Nations procurement to the reader. UNOPS continually strives to improve and refine the report to better serve expectations and objectives of government stakeholders, donors, the business community and United Nations organizations.

7 Executive Summary Total procurement of goods and services for operational activities of the UN system The overall procurement volume (goods and services combined) of United Nations organizations during 2011 decreased to $14.3 billion, from $14.5 billion in 2010 a reduction of 1.9 percent, this is the first recorded decrease in the annual reporting of UN procurement volume since The total procurement of goods decreased $10 million, a decrease of 0.1 percent, while procurement of services dropped by $258 million, a decrease of 3.5 percent. Between 2007 and 2011, United Nations procurement volume increased from $10.1 billion to $14.3 billion, attributable to a $1.8 billion growth in the procurement of goods and a $2.4 billion growth in the procurement of services for the same period. Figure 1 Total procurement of goods and services, ($ Million) Services Goods 16,000 14,000 13,594 13,797 14,544 14,276 12,000 10,000 10,113 6,840 7,403 7,469 7,210 8,000 4,839 6,000 4,000 2,000 5,273 6,754 6,394 7,075 7, From 2007 to 2011, the procurement of services by the United Nations system rose as a share of total procurement, and in 2008 slightly overtook the procurement share goods. In 2011, the share of services still exceeded that of goods albeit only by a margin of 1 percent compared to 7.3 percent in 2009 and 2.7 percent in % Figure 2 Proportion of goods and services procured, Services Goods 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 52.1% 47.9% 49.7% 50.3% 46.3% 53.7% 48.6% 51.4% 49.5% 50.5% 10.0% 0.0% In 2002 the total UN procurement volume decreased to $4 5 billion from $4 6 billion in 2001, a decrease of 1 5 percent Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement

8 Ten major countries of supply to the UN system in 2011 The 10 major countries to supply United Nations organizations in 2011 (see Table 1) included two developing countries and one country with its economy in transition, with Afghanistan, India and the Russian Federation accounting for 30.7 percent of the total procurement volume of the top 10 countries of supply. Afghanistan is among the 10 major countries to supply the UN for the third year running, despite its share of total United Nations procurement volume decreasing by 0.8 percentage points in Procurement from Afghanistan consisted primarily of construction, transport and demining services executed with national contractors by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) respectively. India has featured in this list since 2000, and in 2011, was the third largest supplier to the United Nations system, with a 5.1 percent share of total United Nations procurement volume representing an increase of 1.2 percentage points over Procurement from India included vaccines, pharmaceuticals and medical equipment procured primarily by the United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF). The Russian Federation s share of total procurement volume for 2011 was of 4.2 percent representing an increase of 0.4 percentage points over Procurement from the Russian Federation consisted primarily of airline management and operations services and food supplies, procured by the United Nations Procurement Division (UN/PD) and the World Food Programme (WFP) respectively.

Between 2007 and 2009 (see Figure 3) this downward trend reversed with the total procurement share of the top ten countries of supply to the United Nations increasing. During this period the percentage share has increased by 9 percent, However, since 2009 the total share of procurement from the top ten countries of supply has again been declining, with an initial decline of 0.9 percent in 2010 followed by a further decline of 1.5 percent in 2011 indicating a reduction in the concentration of UN procurement spend within the primary supplier countries and widening of supply sources Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement

Despite this decrease, 15 of the 30 reporting United Nations organizations increased their procurement volume over the previous year. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) recorded the largest volume increases.

10 Procurement from developing countries and countries with economies in transition General Assembly resolution 57/279 (2005) on procurement reform (specifically paragraph six), encourages United Nations organizations to increase sourcing opportunities for suppliers from developing countries and countries with economies in transition. General Assembly resolution 61/246 (2007) (specifically paragraph 24), reiterates the request. In response, United Nations organizations have placed more orders with suppliers from these countries. The growth of such orders has steadily grown over the 2007 to 2011 period (as shown in Figure 4), a cumulative increase of 57.2 percent for the same period. 10,000 Figure 4 UN procurement from developing countries and countries with economies in transition, ($ Million) Services Goods 8,000 6,972 7,576 8,402 8,528 6,000 5,425 3,337 4,263 4,594 4,634 4,000 2,673 2,000 2,752 3,635 3,313 3,808 3, In 2011, procurement from developing countries and countries with economies in transition increased by $126 million over 2010 further building upon the $826 million increase from 2009 to 2010, the $600 million increase from 2008 to 2009 and the $1.5 billion increase from 2007 to This is reflected by an increase in the percentage share from 57.7 percent in 2010 to 59.7 percent of total United Nations procurement volume in 2011, while procurement from developed countries decreased from 41.7 percent in 2010 to 39.2 percent in Procurement from unspecified countries was $159 million in Countries are unspecified when organizations cannot attribute the origin of the supplier in their management information systems. 80.0% Figure 5 UN procurement from industrialized countries, developing countries and countries with economies in transition, (as a percentage of the total procurement volume) 60.0% 40.0% 20.0% Developed countries Developing countries & countries with economies in transition Unspecified countries 0.0% Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement

11 Procurement from developing countries and countries with economies in transition by region United Nations procurement from African, Latin American, Caribbean and Arab states has remained stable in the period from 2010 to 2011, despite the reduction in the overall United Nations procurement volume. The Asia Pacific region experienced a reduction of $266 million in their share of procurement from the United Nations organizations in Notably, Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States have experienced an increase of $422 million in UN procurement across the region in the period from 2010 to Figure 6 UN procurement from developing countries and countries with economies in transition by region, ($ Million) 2, , , , ARAB STATES AFRICA ASIA & PACIFIC EUROPE & CIS LATIN AMERICA & THE CARIB. Regional data from developing countries and countries with economies in transition show that all regions except the Asia and Pacific region and CIS states have seen a stable trend in procurement business. The percentage share has decreased from Asia and Pacific region by 1.5 percent and increased from the CIS states by 3 percent.

14 United Nations Procurement and the Global Compact UN agencies, in cooperation with their suppliers, are increasingly trying to buy for a better world. They are looking beyond traditional economic parameters to make decisions based on life-cycle costs and associated environmental and social implications, to help producers - especially in the developing world - become more efficient and competitive in larger markets. For the fifth consecutive year, the Annual Statistical Report 2011 features an analysis of the participation of UN suppliers in the world s largest global corporate citizenship initiative, the Global Compact. The United Nations strongly encourages its suppliers to support the Global Compact and its principles 3. In 1999, the United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan challenged the business leaders gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos to develop greater social and environmental responsibility in their business activities. He offered them a new compact of shared values and principles, to give a human face to the global market: the Global Compact. The Global Compact is a framework for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. As the world s largest global corporate citizenship initiative, the Global Compact is a voluntary scheme, a learning dialogue and a platform for action. Procurement from Global Compact members as a percentage of orders of $30,000 or more Overall, the total procurement volume of the UN has slightly decreased from 2010 to However, the percentage of procurement volume which comes from contracts with Global Compact members has constantly increased over the period , reaching percent in The number of vendors that have signed the Global Compact has almost doubled over the past 5 years and currently has almost 7,000 business members. Figure 9 Global compact membership as a percentage of orders of $30,000 or more 3. Being a signatory to the UN Global Compact does not provide a company preferential treatment throughout a procurement process The procurement process as applied by UN organisations ensures that all prospective bidders are treated equally, fairly and in a transparent manner Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement

In comparison to the previous years analysis, data for 2011 show a positive evolution, as the aggregated share of UN suppliers from Africa, Asia and Central/South America with Global Compact membership has dramatically increased to reach almost half of the overall procurement volume. On the other hand, share of the suppliers from Europe has decreased from 46.7 percent to 12.6 percent in 2011 to the benefit of North American suppliers. Participation of supplier from the Oceania continues to be very limited.

16 United Nations procurement spend with Global Compact members in 2011 For the fourth year, procurement statistics on contracts of $30,000 or more have been crossed-referenced with the list of Global Compact members. The result of the analysis shows that the percentage of spend with Global Compact members varies across the reporting agencies, depending on the agencies procurement volume and spend profile. Figure 12 Percentage of expenditure with Global Compact suppliers 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Sustainability reporting in the UN System The United Nations has an impact on the economic, environmental and social fabric where it conducts its operations. Acknowledging this, the UN has committed to achieving climate neutrality and overall environmental sustainability, and it is pursuing this goal with a system-wide initiative since Openness and transparency on the way UN operations are managed and donor funds are employed are in the best interest of UN stakeholders and of the international community. For these reasons, a sustainability reporting system has been introduced. For the fourth year, the Annual Statistical Report contains a section on sustainability reporting. The report focuses on two key areas of sustainability performance for the UN: sustainable procurement and sustainable office management Out of the 30 agencies that returned statistical information for 2011 and are therefore included in the ASR, 40 percent provided (in whole or in part) information on their sustainability performance 3. Depsite difficulties in collecting information on sustainability factors, the participating agencies have returned more detailed and comprehensive reports, showing their growing interest in initiating internal measures towards sustainable procurement activities. 3 The reports provided by ECLAC, FAO, UNOPS and UNIDO refer to the respective HQ only UNICEF reports on its Supply Division,with the exception of some procurement environmental information which refer to the global procurement function Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement

17 Figure 13 Sustainability reporting among UN agencies for % 60% Agencies reporting on sustainability Agencies not reporting on sustainability From vision to implementation: description of measures by agency Some of the major advances in practice and measurement of sustainable procurement initiatives reported by United Nations agencies include; United Nations Volunteers (UNV) and the International Trade Centre (ITC) reported the implementation of a sustainable procurement policy (SPP), and the World Trade Organization (WTO), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and UNOPS have indicated plans to adopt a SPP in 2012, complemented by the adoption of a global sustainable procurement programme. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and UNV apply, where appropriate, environmental criteria for in the evaluation of certain tenders (cleaning contract, furniture, construction, stationary, paper and IT). UNV has also applied its sustainable procurement policy to cases where environment and social issues are prevalent, such as printing, travel and contracts. ITC estimates that about 26 percent of its suppliers have a written statement of their environmental policy, and 100 percent of procurement and resources consumption for administrative needs are recycled, eco-labelled or based on the Sustainable Procurement Guidelines. UNICEF reported that 47 percent of its orders are placed with suppliers holding an ISO certification (or equivalent), while 43 percent are placed with suppliers holding the SA 8000 certification (or equivalent), a global social accountability standard for decent working conditions. Recycling initiatives and waste management programmes have been initiated in UNOPS offices, encouraging personnel to reduce paper, water and electricity consumption. The UNOPS sustainability team in cooperation with UNDP, UNFPA and WFP have developed initiatives for the Common Facilities to raise awareness on sustainability by implementing recycling measures and by proposing suggestions to the management to move toward improved environmental performance. The UN World Trade Organization (WTO) has implemented green office initiatives to raise awareness of actions staff should undertake towards neutralizing the organization s carbon footprint. This includes for instance the circulation by the Management team of an internal note with recommendations and measures to follow, as well as the organization of debates on environmental issues during the management and Staff Association meetings. A Climate-neutral focal points has also been designated, and measures regarding paper recycling and reduction have been reinforced, as no printed documents are sent in the context of WTO statutory meetings Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement

18 Environmental performance The use of resources, materials and production of office waste has also been explored within the theme of environmental office performance. This is an area that intersects with sustainable procurement for administrative functions, and with the carbon neutrality goal of the UN System. The number of agencies which have been able to report on 2011 water consumption, waste production and electricity consumption has slightly increased compared to 2010 reporting exercise. Figure 14 illustrates water consumption in relation to the number of office occupants across the ten reporting agencies. Figure 14 Water consumption by agency in metres cubed per occupant Figure 15 shows the level of energy consumption per office occupant across 11 reporting agencies. Figure 15 Electricity conumption by agency in kilowatt/hours per occupant Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement

19 Figure 16 on waste production and management provides information not only on the amount of waste produced (in kilograms per office occupant), but also on the disposal system where figures exist for 2011 and According to the waste hierarchy, recycling is the most favoured option, followed by energy recovery (incineration) with disposal in landfill being the least favoured option. Figure 16 Waste production (kilogram per occupant) and disposal method per agency The objective for future reporting is to increase the amount of information received, involving a higher number of agencies and improving data quality. The sustainability report will also reinforce coordination with other existing UN programmes that share its objectives and partly also its tools, such as the UN Global Compact or the Sustainable UN (SUN) initiative. While acknowledging that the report may reflect the significant challenges that underlie the measurement and reporting of sustainability initiatives that are ongoing across the United Nations system of organisations, there is much interest and progress in the important area. We are confident that our work in this area sends the right signal to the international community, to UN suppliers and the market at large, and finally to civil society and all our stakeholders about the strategic intent of the United Nations to support sustainability objectives through our operations Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement

20 About the report Background The first annual statistical report on procurement by UN agencies in respect of operational activities, prepared by the Inter- Agency Procurement Services Office (IAPSO) of the United Nations Development Programme, was submitted to the 39th session of the General Assembly (Doc. A/39/417) in By resolution 39/220 the General Assembly established the need for recurrent reporting of such information on operational activities and encouraged organizations of the UN system to co-operate with IAPSO in this important exercise. Since 2008 the report has been compiled by UNOPS (United Nations Office for Project Services) as a result of the partial merger between UNOPS and IAPSO in Methodology Statistical data on procurement of goods and services and the personnel components for operational activities are requested from UN organizations. To facilitate collection and compilation of the large amount of data, UNOPS provides pro-forma tables available from the UNGM website, together with instructions for completing the reporting requirements. The 2011 report compiles information supplied by 31 UN organizations in total (of which 30 provided procurement data and 8 personnel data). UNOPS relies entirely on the co-operation of the participating entities in the compilation and reporting of the statistics. In general, response rates were satisfactory and data quality has improved with the use of better reporting tools. Data is reported on goods based on countries of supply and on services based on country of contractor. Moreover, procurement orders and contracts for services are reported by contract amount and not by expenditures incurred. Most UN agencies cannot report data based on country of origin of goods, or on actual expenditures at the present time Annual Statistical Report on United Nations Procurement
