The 尊龙凯时ag体育真人 Procurement Section is responsible for the acquisition of goods and services for the different programs of WIPO. We have a strategic role in ensuring the agile (effective and efficient), transparent and fair procurement of goods and services, at the best value for money in compliance with WIPO’s Financial Rules and Regulations .
WIPO procures a variety of goods and services. The percentage breakdown by value of purchases by category can be found in our purchase statistics .
Depending on the nature of the requirement and the estimated contract value, we may use one of the following processes:
For purchases with an estimated value of less than CHF 150,000, tenders are not advertised publicly and are limited to vendors known to WIPO. WIPO recommends that vendors register on the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM) portal.
As a general rule, for purchases with an estimated value of CHF 150,000 or above, tenders are publicly advertised through an Open International Tender.
WIPO may identify vendors to be invited to a tender by issuing a request for Expressions of Interest (EOI). Interested vendors, if deemed eligible, may be shortlisted and invited to submit a formal offer for the requirement.
To do business with WIPO, vendors must first register on the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM) portal. Registration is simple and free of charge.
For assistance with registration, feel free to contact us.
