Other Additional Services. At the request of the Partner, UNDP may provide some or all of the administrative services with respect to the items set out in sub-paragraphs 3.C, 3.D, and 3.E and 3.F (except with respect to any claim of dispute brought directly against the Partner, including, but not limited to, a claim by the Partner Personnel seeking protection against retaliation), above, as well as with respect to support in the selection process, and other ad hoc services as may be agreed between UNDP and the Partner with respect to the PPSA issued by UNDP. In this regard, UNDP may provide facilitative, administrative and logistical support to the Partner in relation to these functions for which the Partner is responsible, (“Additional Services”). In such cases, the Partner’s agreement on the cost recovery fee, consistent with UNDP’s cost recovery business model, and to be charged as set forth in the Partner Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, must be obtained before the such Additional Services are provided. The PPSA allows Partners to set the adequate functional levels, pay levels and amounts, as well as the benefits packages of Partner Personnel. The Partner must make any such requests through its authorized representative, who must hold adequate levels of authority to assume the responsibility and any possible associated risks with the levels of pay and benefits package. Such standards may be set at the corporate levels applicable to all personnel administered on behalf of the Partner, if a global agreement exists between the Partner and UNDP, or at the country/project level if no global agreement exists or if the global agreement does not limit such requests to be carried at the country/project level. At the Partner’s request, UNDP may assist it in advising on appropriate levels of pay, as well as determining benefit packages to be applied to Partner Personnel. However, responsibility for determination of salary and benefits rests with the Partner. Prior to concluding any agreement, UNDP will draw the attention to partners on the minimum standards of duty of care, pay levels and minimum coverage expected towards the partner personnel. UNDP may also extend to the Partner the standards of benefits and entitlements, as well as remuneration packages applied by UNDP as a reference to be applied. However, the responsibility on the final standards to be applied rests with the partner and not with UNDP. UNDP will, as part of its services in the context of this policy, make available a menu of benefits negotiated by UNDP with service providers which Partners can access.

Relationship between Partner Personnel and UNDP Pricing Policy With regards to UNDP pricing, Partner Personnel are not considered UNDP personnel and thus the applicable cost for “Non-Personnel” should be charged. The issuance and administration of PPSAs must be consistent with the UNDP cost recovery business model (see paragraph 6 below). Authority to enter into Partner Agreement and authority to issue contracts to Partner Personnel within UNDP A Partner Agreement may be signed by the Head of a Business Unit within UNDP without the prior written approval of the BMS Director, provided that all conditions set out in this policy, and the standard templates issued further to this Policy, are fully complied with. PPSAs may only be issued and administered by the GSSU. Exceptions to that may only be approved by the BMS Director or his/her delegate. Fees and Pricing UNDP will apply the following pricing for PPSA administration, for the basic services stated under the responsibility of UNDP in the table of roles and responsibilities (Annex 3). Any Additional Services shall be costed and priced in addition. Cost of functions directly supporting the administration are comprised of the following, per 400 PSAs: 100% of an ICSC 5 Assistant ‘A’ 50% of an ICSC 7 Associate ‘B’ 10% of an ICSC 10 Officer (P3) ‘C’ 5% of an ICSC 12 Chief (P5) ‘D’ Sub-Total 1 ‘E’ 25% GOE on E ‘F’ Sub-Total 2 ‘G’ GMS 8% of G ‘H’ RF 5% of G ‘I’ Total Direct Staff Costs ‘J’ Cost of payroll ‘K’ Total Direct Costs ‘L’ Indirect cost to cover the corporate backbone support applies to the total delivery of the project (net of hardship pay and net of costs under ‘a’; but includes remuneration, additional services and coverages requested by the partner, medical insurances, death and disability, Malicious Act Insurance Policy (MAIP) and any other additional benefits paid by UNDP on behalf of the partner: GMS at 4% (net of ‘L’) ‘M’ (>1,200 global contracts for the specific partner) GMS at 5% (net of ‘L’) ‘M’ (<1,200) Total applicable Cost = L + M UNDP may also wish to apply a standard cost recovery percentage instead of a dollar figure not below the total applicable price derived from the above, for simplicity vis-à-vis the partner proposal, and for internal distribution accordingly, should the partner request that. Transitional measures UNDP will inform Partners of the date of entry into force of this policy. Any SLA or other service agreement with Partners for the provision of non-staff personnel contracts, must be replaced with the Partner Agreement for the provision of PPSAs no later than 31 December 2021. No new SC or IC contracts that would otherwise fall under the PPSA policy, may be issued for Partners after that date.
