UNOPS buys more than $800 million of high quality, best value goods and services each year, ensuring successful and timely implementation of projects in sectors such as education, elections, environment, governance, health, mine action and public works.

UNOPS procurement volume and expenditure are on the rise, confirming both the organization's expertise and its focus on helping partners achieve Millennium Development Goals.

Coordinated international reach

UNOPS often delivers procurement services where local capacity is limited, such as in post-disaster and peacebuilding settings. Working closely with partners UNOPS builds and strengthens national capabilities.

To ensure the most efficient service delivery possible most UNOPS procurement takes place in five regional offices (Bangkok, Copenhagen, Johannesburg, New York and Panama City) and a further 20 operations and project centres. The organization's Global Service Centre coordinates activities, publishes organizational statistics and lends procurement support and advice to UNOPS offices across the world.
