Procurement and Contract Management

Procurement and Contract Management

The objective of the procurement activities within the WMO is to achieve best value for money for the acquisition of goods and services in a manner that supports fairness, integrity and transparency, and is directed towards maximum economy and effectiveness within, and in accordance with, the objectives of the Organization.

 

Best value for money is defined – with respect to the goods or services sought – as the most advantageous balance between:

  • Compliance with the technical requirements
  • Quality
  • Cost, including total lifecycle cost when applicable
  • Compliance with WMO standard contractual conditions
  • Warranty and long term sustainability arrangements
  • Ethical and environmental considerations

As part of this process, the following principles are followed:

WMO, in accordance with the policy of United Nations agencies participating in the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM, link below) , strictly enforces a zero tolerance approach to unethical, unprofessional or fraudulent actions by Vendors.

WMO promotes procurement from developing countries and countries with economies in transition, provided that this effort remains compatible with the objective of achieving best value for money. 

Fairness and transparency are fundamental principles for WMO procurement activities. Bidders that believe they were not treated fairly in connection with a WMO procurement action may submit a Letter of Protest. In addition, WMO has a strict “No-gifts, no-hospitality” policy which is applicable to all Vendors. WMO personnel involved in the procurement process may not accept gifts or hospitality from current or potential Vendors.

Business opportunities:

To do business with the WMO, a Vendor must first be registered using the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM), Vendor registration portal. Details of the Vendor registration process can be found on the Vendor Registration page. Here you can find detailed instruction on how to register in the UNGM portal.

The WMO posts all tenders through the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM)  and encourages potential vendors to register at the basic level through the UNGM.
