The United Nations is one of the world’s largest buyers, procuring billions of dollars of goods and services every year for humanitarian, development and operational work worldwide. Most UN agencies advertise their tenders through the UN Global Marketplace (UNGM), but the opportunities are spread across many different organisations, each with its own naming and focus.
This page brings UN procurement notices together into a single, searchable feed. Each listing links through to the full details, and on to the original UN notice. You can see what was posted recently, when bids close, and which country and sector each opportunity relates to — across the whole UN family rather than one agency at a time.
UN tenders span an enormous range: medical supplies and cold-chain equipment, food and nutrition, logistics and transport, construction and engineering, IT and digital services, consultancy and technical assistance, and much more. To follow opportunities beyond the UN — such as the World Bank, the African and Asian Development Banks, the EBRD and the EU — use the main MangoFetch feed, which aggregates them all.
How UN procurement works
Most United Nations agencies advertise their tenders through the UN Global Marketplace (UNGM), the UN system’s common procurement portal. Suppliers register once on UNGM and can then see and respond to opportunities from many agencies. Each agency runs its own purchasing, so the same supplier might bid to UNICEF, WFP, UNDP and WHO using broadly similar processes but separate contracts.
UN procurement is governed by principles of fairness, transparency, best value for money and international competition. Opportunities range from one-off purchases to multi-year framework agreements, and from local field-office needs to global supply contracts for items like vaccines, therapeutic food and vehicles.
Types of UN tender notices
UN solicitations come in a few standard formats. A Request for Quotation (RFQ) is used for lower-value, clearly specified goods or services. An Invitation to Bid (ITB) is used when requirements are precise and award is based mainly on price and compliance. A Request for Proposal (RFP) is used for more complex needs where quality and approach are evaluated alongside price. An Expression of Interest (EOI) is a way for agencies to identify potential suppliers before issuing a full solicitation.
Each notice lists the issuing agency, the country or duty station, the deadline and the reference number. Use the filters on this page to narrow the live UN feed by agency, country, sector or keyword.
Who can supply the United Nations
The UN buys from companies of all sizes, NGOs and institutions worldwide. To do business with most agencies you register your company on UNGM (registration is free), keep your profile and categories up to date, and respond to relevant tenders. Some high-value or specialised tenders require additional vendor registration or pre-qualification with the specific agency. Demonstrating quality, ethical and sustainability standards increasingly matters in UN evaluations.
The biggest UN buyers
Procurement volumes are concentrated in a handful of operational agencies. UNICEF, WFP (the World Food Programme), UNDP, UNHCR, UNOPS and WHO are consistently among the largest UN buyers, purchasing everything from medical and nutrition supplies to logistics, construction and IT services. Specialised agencies such as FAO, ILO, UNIDO, IAEA, ITU and IMO procure in their technical domains. This page aggregates all of them, so you can watch the whole UN market at once.
How to find and win UN tenders
A practical approach: register on UNGM, monitor new notices daily across the agencies you can serve, study the evaluation criteria in each solicitation, and submit complete, compliant offers before the deadline. Framework agreements are especially valuable because a single qualification can lead to repeat orders. Watching award patterns helps you understand which agencies buy what, and at what scale.
MangoFetch makes the monitoring step effortless by surfacing new UN notices the day they appear, across the entire UN system, alongside other development funders. Create a free account to save UN tenders and build filters for your sectors and countries.
