Guidelines for IMF Supplier Eligibility

Source details

The Guidelines define a Supplier as "an organization that has been incorporated, or registered as a company (sole proprietorship, partnership, limited partnership, and corporation) that has been established to offer goods and/or services for profit."
The Guidelines state that "Organizations registered as 'not for profit' (e.g. universities, United Nations agencies, other government agencies) are also considered a business."

The business enterprise must be currently incorporated or registered as a company (sole proprietorship, partnership, limited partnership, and corporation) and be able to demonstrate that it has been and is offering goods and/or services under the business name for a period of not less than three years.
Potential Suppliers must not have been or currently be barred from contracting with any United Nations, World Bank, Government or international agency.
Potential Suppliers must not be under investigation for, attempted to engage in, or confirmed to have engaged in any Prohibited Activity as defined under the Anti-Fraud and Anti-Corruption Policy, including Fraud, Coercion, Corruption, Obstruction, or Conflicts of Interest.
Potential Suppliers must have more than one business client.
Any revenue obtained from IMF contracts will likely not exceed more than 25% of the potential Supplier's total annual revenue from all sources.

All potential Suppliers who are invited to bid on IMF procurements are required to complete a Supplier Questionnaire, which is an attachment to the RFP package.
Bidders submit questionnaire responses with their proposals.
Questionnaire responses are reviewed by the Procurement Officer and the Evaluation Team to determine eligibility.
