The E-tendering process starts from sending the invitation to participate up until the submission of responses by vendors. The UN Secretariat is managing solicitations through the Ariba E-tendering solution. The main objectives we are seeking to accomplish are efficiency gains, reduced printing and storage requirements, increased competition, anytime-anywhere participation in solicitations by our vendors, more time for vendors to prepare tenders, enhanced internal controls, process automation and advanced reporting. UNPD wants to take advantage of web-based technology and provide its vendors with the possibility to submit Bids and Proposals in a convenient and secure electronic manner. This is an integral part of the Procurement process.

Once registered, the profiles of suppliers are visible to buyers from all entities operating through the Procurement Gate (SAP Ariba). The registration is a one-time activity and it is centralized for Abu Dhabi Government Entities. Suppliers interested in doing business with Abu Dhabi Government Entities must complete the registration on SAP Ariba.

Department of Government Support has launched the Digital Marketplace - Al Maqta'a Portal powered by SAP Ariba to provide a unique digital experience and enhance transparency & efficiency of public procurement.
