How to apply for registration with UNHCR and UNGM

Suppliers, who want to apply for registration, as a potential supplier to UNHCR should fill out and submit, to UNHCR Geneva, the form in Annex C Doing business with the UNHCR (Supply Management Service, UNHCR HEADQUARTERS, Geneva, November 2007) together with a copy of the latest financial statement. Incomplete submission cannot be taken into consideration.

UNHCR will also consult the United Nations Global Market Place (UNGM) to retrieve potential suppliers. 

The United Nations, including its many affiliated organisations, represents a global market of approximately US$ 4.6 billion annually for all types of goods and services. The UNGM acts as a single window, through which the business community may register with the UN system, providing an excellent avenue to introduce supplier goods and services to many UN organisations, countries and regions. The database facilitates the interchange of supplier information within the UN system and acts as an important procurement tool to shortlist suppliers for competitive bidding.

Future developments under consideration include a wide range of capabilities, varying from links to supplier websites to generation of procurement statistics. Inter-agency co-operation in the UNGM provides a channel for improved communication between organisations in the UN System, and between the UN system and its suppliers and donor countries. Access to the UNGM is available to organisations in the UN system and the World Bank.

Suppliers who want to register in the UNGM and thereby also with UNHCR should contact the Secretariat in Copenhagen: Midtermolen 3, P.O. Box 2530, 2100 Copenhagen E, Denmark. Fax: +45.35.46.70.05, E-mail: registry@ungm.org

Suppliers will also find the required information under the following Internet address: www.ungm.org. An application is also available on-line for you to register as a supplier in the database.
