Business Development Services for United Nations and World Bank Group Procurement Market
The United Nations is one of the largest buyers of public goods in the world. Over the last years the annual volume of the UN Procurement Market has increased to US$6.4 billion, making it the largest market for public goods and services for humanitarian and relief aid and development projects in the world.
Because of the highly diversified and pluralistic character of the United Nations and the World Bank, procurement opportunities with these multilateral institutions can be (and can become) very complex. Therefore New Amsterdam Trade & Consultancy has specialized in providing private companies, public organizations and industry associations with assistance and strategic advice to penetrate the UN and World Bank Group market in an effective way. New Amsterdam Trade & Consultancy offers an extensive spectrum of services, diverging from market research, strategic business development advice and network building, to full representation.
In addition to the general services, specific services for the multilateral development market are:
- Registration with the different organizations
- Network identification and building - at headquarters and in the field
- Advice regarding content, pricing and language of bids and proposals
- Representation at bid-openings, reporting and analyzing results
- Ongoing management of contracts and negotiations
Our services are focused on empowering and facilitating our clients with accurate strategic and tactical solutions in order to achieve targets and deliver required returns on investment. Our network enables us to access procurement information in an early stage, thus creating a competitive advantage for our clients. Moreover, through our physical presence next to the United Nations Headquarters in New York and our global network with UN staff both at Headquarters and in field offices over four continents, we are specialized in building up networks with key players in the specific product or services group of our clients.
Another advantage of the extensive network of New Amsterdam Trade & Consultancy that clients experience, are the collaboration opportunities with both our local and international clients and customers. A shared bidding process can create access to new markets on which companies are not able to provide the complete required product or service line by themselves, and collaborating with local partners can significantly decrease management and overhead cost of larger projects.
