Procurement Manager Interview Question:

Tell me what Is The Difference Between Standard And Non-standard Mous And Who Must Approve And Sign A Mou?

Submitted by: Muhammad

A standard MOU has a fixed, pre-determined text which has been approved by the Director of Supply Division (SD) and cannot be changed in areas other than designated entry fields. Standard MOUs are signed between the partner and UNICEF Representatives in Country Offices, or in instances where there is no Country Office presence, with SD Director.

A non-standard MOU is an MOU in which text or format other than the designated entry fields has been changed and is prepared in order to meet specific requests or needs of the customer which are not addressed in the standard MOU. Non-standard MOUs are approved by the SD Director on a case-by-case basis, and are signed between the partner and UNICEF Representatives in Country Offices, or in instances where there is no Country Office presence, with SD Director. UNICEF Representatives in Country Offices may sign a non-standard MOU only upon prior written delegation of signing authority by the SD Director.
