How to become a UNOPS supplier?

Through international public tenders, UNOPS will maximize open competition and equal opportunities for all suppliers, both in Mexico and internationally, by implementing transparent, efficient and sustainable procurement processes.

Within the framework of this agreement, UNOPS’ International bidding processes will be published through the portal United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM), and through UNOPS’ eSourcing system, an electronic procurement platform integrated with UNGM.

Market Information Request (RFI)

Through the modality of open international public bidding, UNOPS seeks to promote effective competition, equal participation for Mexican and international companies, and transparency, ensuring the best price conditions and the highest quality in medicines.

From August 25th to September 15th, 2020, UNOPS published the invitation to companies in the national and international markets to complete the online form of the “Request for Information (RFI)” to know the list of inputs required by the Mexican authorities.

The information provided by the national and international markets will allow the design of the procurement strategy. The data collected is confidential and will not be made public.

The SDGs and the 2030 Agenda

UNOPS is committed to supporting the government of Mexico's national development priorities and its efforts towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

In particular, the project for the procurement of medicines and medical aid supplies has the goal of ensuring the right to health and its accessibility for the Mexican population, hence contributing to the achievement of the following SDGs in Mexico:
