UN Global Marketplace

Overview

UN Global Marketplace is a resource operated by the United Nations system through UNGM for UN procurement opportunities, supplier registration, contract awards, and tender information. UNGM is the official procurement portal of the United Nations system. UNGM brings together UN procurement staff and suppliers, provides a central registration process for many UN organizations, gives public access to procurement opportunities and contract awards, and disseminates UN market information. UNGM itself does not conduct procurement; the responsible UN organization manages each opportunity. For Cuberfy users, the practical value is that it gives founders, suppliers, procurement teams, researchers, nonprofits, and advisers a more reliable starting point than generic tender reposts or copied summaries. Users should treat the official page as the place to confirm live status, eligibility, registration steps, documents, deadlines, costs, licences, and submission rules before making a business or research decision.

What You Can Find Here

• UN procurement opportunities including requests for quotations, proposals, expressions of interest, invitations to bid, and pre-qualification notices.
• Supplier registration that can make a company visible to multiple UN organizations through one UNGM account.
• Contract award information and procurement market information published by UN organizations and international organizations.
• Tender documents, UNSPSC codes, contact details, and participation instructions connected to specific opportunities.
• Optional tender alert services and filters by organization, country, category, deadline, and notice type.

Who Should Use This

• Companies, NGOs, universities, and associations offering goods or services to UN agencies and international organizations.
• Consultants and individual professionals seeking UN procurement or consultancy opportunities where eligible.
• Suppliers from developing countries and MSMEs looking for a recognized entry point into UN procurement.
• Business development teams monitoring UN demand across humanitarian, development, health, logistics, and technical categories.
• Trade promotion organizations advising local businesses on how to enter the UN supplier market.

How to Get Started

1. Step 1: Create a supplier or consultant account on UNGM if participation or organization visibility is required.
2. Step 2: Search procurement opportunities by UN organization, UNSPSC code, country, notice type, deadline, or keyword.
3. Step 3: Open the opportunity and review the description, documents, contact tab, submission method, and e-procurement platform instructions.
4. Step 4: Submit bids or questions only through the mechanism specified by the procuring organization, not to the UNGM Secretariat.

Things to Check Before Applying

• Check whether the opportunity is active, expired, or only a market information notice before preparing a response.
• Confirm the required account type, supplier registration level, UNSPSC codes, and any external e-procurement platform steps.
• Review the responsible UN organization, not UNGM, for clarifications, eligibility, documents, and final submission instructions.
• Verify whether tender alerts are free or paid and whether registration alone creates any guarantee of being invited.
