UNOPS due diligence process to improve market transparency, and promote effective competitionn

The purchase made by UNOPS, in conjunction with health institutions, is carried out under strict international standards that seek to ensure that the Mexican population has the highest health benefits. Likewise, it has been possible to increase competitiveness and reduce market concentration, as a result there are a greater number of suppliers that offer their products with better prices and quality. All the companies that have been hired have gone through a strict process that guarantees transparency and competitiveness.

Fair Public Management for the transparent and efficient procurement of medicines and medical aid supplies in Mexico

For the procurement of medicines and medical aid supplies, UNOPS promotes the implementation of Fair Public Management, which is a comprehensive approach that allows governments to implement actions that increase efficiency, profitability, innovation, integrity and transparency.

Applying the principles of Fair Public Management, UNOPS processes will seek to maximize the transparency and efficiency of public spending, generating savings with the highest quality, allowing the procurement of more medicines and medical aid supplies, hence ensuring that a greater number of people across Mexico have access to the healthcare they need.
