UN Women procures more than USD 176 million worth of services and goods each year to support its programme of work. UN Women is committed to promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women worldwide, while delivering green results, with an emphasis on transparency and effectiveness. UN Women is also committed to providing tools to, and supplementing the capacity of, its partners—such as governments, other UN entities, and corporations—to achieve socioeconomic objectives through practicing and encouraging gender-responsive procurement. Therefore, UN Women has taken the lead to integrate gender considerations in its procurement processes.

Open procurement processes

UN Women has migrated to Quantum ERP, a new system that is live for procurement activities initiated by UN Women globally. To participate, all suppliers need to register in our new ERP system through the registration page. Registered suppliers may access the system at supplier.quantum.partneragencies.org.

Suppliers can view procurement notices below as well as on the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM) and the Quantum ERP (Oracle) platform. The solicitation documents for each procurement notice are accessible to all suppliers registered in the system. For more information, see the “UN Women Quantum supplier guideline” (PDF, 2.6MB).
