UNHCR Pakistan issues tenders for supplies, services and construction for refugee and humanitarian operations. Pakistan hosts one of the world's largest refugee populations — primarily Afghan refugees and returnees — and UNHCR's operational budget in Pakistan supports protection services, shelter, education, livelihoods, and documentation programmes across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and urban centres including Islamabad and Karachi.
UNHCR procurement tenders in Pakistan include food supply contracts, shelter construction and rehabilitation, NFI (non-food items) supply including blankets, mattresses, and household kits, IT equipment and communications infrastructure, vehicles and transportation, professional services including legal aid, and monitoring and evaluation consultancies. Contract values range from small local purchases to multi-million rupee framework agreements for major supply categories.
Other United Nations agencies operating in Pakistan and issuing procurement tenders include UNICEF (children's health, education, and nutrition programmes), WFP (food assistance and supply chain), IOM (migration and displacement response), WHO (health systems support), and UNDP (development and governance programmes). PakistanTender.com aggregates procurement notices from all major UN agencies in Pakistan into a single searchable feed.
Suppliers interested in bidding on UNHCR and United Nations procurement contracts in Pakistan must register on the UNGM (United Nations Global Marketplace) at ungm.org. UNGM is the central vendor registration platform for most UN agencies, allowing a single registration to make you eligible to bid across multiple UN organisations including UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP, IOM, and UNDP.
To complete UNGM registration, companies must provide legal registration documents, tax certificates, financial statements, and references from previous contracts. Some categories — particularly for high-value supply and construction contracts — require additional pre-qualification documentation. Individual UN agencies may also maintain supplementary vendor lists for Pakistan-specific procurement.
Once registered on UNGM, you will receive invitations to bid when your registered product or service categories match an active procurement process. PakistanTender.com aggregates UNHCR Pakistan procurement notices alongside other international organisations including UNICEF, WFP, and IOM — giving you the most comprehensive view of UN procurement opportunities in Pakistan in a single daily digest.

NGOs are not bound by PPRA or the provincial procurement rules; they follow their own procurement policies and the rules of whichever donor funds the project. Notices are usually called an RFQ, RFP, ITB or expression of interest, bids are often sent by email or in a sealed envelope to the country office, and many organisations keep a vendor list you must register on or pre-qualify for. Read each notice for its own eligibility documents — typically NTN, business registration and relevant experience — and its exact deadline. See tender vs RFP vs RFQ.
