The UN Web Buy Plus team (UNWB) is part of UNOPS Shared Services Centre (SSC), which provides policy advice, operational support, and transactional services to UNOPS offices, and is responsible for the administrative support to HQ and Copenhagen-based personnel.
UN Web Buy Plus (www.unwebbuyplus.org) is UNOPS e-commerce solution for the humanitarian and development sector. Through UN Web Buy Plus, partners can access UNOPS procurement services for selected commodities based on Long Term Agreements. Through UN Web Buy Plus, UNOPS and partners procure an average of $80 million USD every year. The platform is constantly being updated with new functionalities.
The UN Web Buy Plus team is responsible for the UN Web Buy Plus services and for the development and maintenance of the system. The UN Web Buy Plus operations team is based in Copenhagen, from where it provides global procurement services through the UN Web Buy Plus platform, while the system development team is based in Bangkok.
UN Web Buy Plus has also played an important role during the response to the Covid-19 pandemic, by launching an emergency catalogue to display LTAs developed under emergency procedures.
We now need a dynamic professional to build up on the achievements of the UN Web Buy Plus team, and to support the growth and expansion of the service so that we can continue to serve our ultimate constituency – the people in need.
Under the leadership of the UNOPS Shared Services Centre Director, the UN Web Buy Plus Manager will be responsible for managing the UN Web Buy Plus team in coordination with other UNOPS units supporting UN Web Buy Plus, drive excellence and innovation, and ensure the future needs of UNOPS and its partners are met.
