Procurement
Become a supplier
Supplies are essential to fulfil children’s rights. Supporting child survival and development programmes around the world, UNICEF-procured supplies are critical in providing for children’s health, education and protecting them from abuse, exploitation, and neglect.
UNICEF procures and supplies products to address the needs of children.
As well as supporting UNICEF’s ongoing programmatic activities, the Supply function provides rapid supply response to emergencies.
UNICEF also procures and supplies essential commodities on behalf of governments and other partners in support of their efforts. These procurement services can also include in-country logistics, capacity building, and project management.
Beware of fraud
UNICEF is aware that there are Request for Quotations (RFQs) and Applications to bid that are being publicly shared with the UNICEF logo and claiming to be from UNICEF South Africa. RFQs not advertised here are fraudulent scams and are monitored and being investigated by the relevant authorities.
Email addresses ending in @unicef-sa.org are not official UNICEF email addresses and should be treated as a false. Do not respond to it. UNICEF South Africa will only place such RFQs on this page.
