Registration guide

Who needs it

Suppliers working with the UN system. Most UN organisations require at least UNGM Basic registration; some require Level 1 or Level 2 depending on agency and contract value.

What to prepare

  • Legal company name, address and authorised contacts.
  • Company registration documents and tax ID.
  • UNSPSC category selection that matches your offer.
  • Additional documentation where an agency requires a higher registration level.

Steps (summary)

  1. Register a supplier account on UNGM (registration is free).
  2. Complete the Basic-level profile and select UNSPSC categories.
  3. Complete Level 1 and/or Level 2 where an agency requires them.
  4. Keep the profile current — incomplete profiles can hide you from agency searches.

Lead time

Basic registration can be completed in a few days if your documents are ready; higher levels take longer and are agency-driven.

Submission guidance

  • Submission methods: Agency e-procurement system linked from the notice, Email or other route where the notice states it
  • Bids are submitted on this portal.
  • Allow time for registration to clear before the deadline.
  • Keep uploaded file names, formats and sizes within the portal's limits.

What you will need

  • Company registration documents
  • Tax identification
  • UNSPSC categories
  • Agency-specific vendor forms where required

Common pitfalls and rejection reasons

  • Incomplete profiles hide opportunities from agencies.
  • Registering for levels you do not need wastes time — check the agency first.
