Representation Services for the UN procurement market and World Bank Group

If it is decided to enter the market, New Amsterdam can provide a range of services in order to assist with penetrating the market in the most effective way. The options are not predetermined and can be extended according to the wishes of your company and our recommendations. Within these services we distinguish primary and pro-active representation:

Primary Representation
New Amsterdam will use its network to advise the company how to increase its visibility and build connections within the UN organizations and World Bank Group. Think of New Amsterdam acting as your ‘eyes and ears’ in the market (Consulates, Missions, business partners, clients, and NGOs) in order to acquire information on upcoming projects. This will give you a significant information advantage that may lead to business success on the procurement market.

Primary representation services:
• Provide an overview of all identified relevant procurement notices (weekly)

• Request and schedule meetings with relevant contact persons in New York City or Washington DC
• If needed New Amsterdam will use its network to assist with finding potential business partners

Pro-Active Representation
Pro-active representation also includes services to assist the company with vendor registration, creating and obtaining leads, writing and preparing proposals/bids, and contract negotiation. We will perform visits to the UN organizations in New York and to the World Bank Group organizations on your behalf. Once a contract has been awarded, we can provide assistance regarding negotiations, contract performance, invoicing, and collecting of payments.
