Procurement for the World Maritime University (WMU) in Malmö, Sweden is managed by the Finance and Administrative Services following the procurement regulations and rules in the WMU Procurement Manual. The procurement activities aim to seek the best value for money as well as cost-efficient, professional, high-quality and environmentally friendly goods and services through a competitive, fair and transparent process. The procurement activities at WMU cover a wide range of goods and services.

If your company/entity provides goods, works or services that are of interest to WMU and you agree to the WMU General Terms and Conditions and the UN Supplier Code of Conduct, you are invited to register as a potential supplier of the WMU using the WMU vendor registration form to procurement@wmu.se. In addition, we recommend you to register your company/entity also at the United Nations Global Marketplace which is an important procurement tool for WMU to source new potential suppliers.

To ensure transparency and fairness, WMU publishes its tenders below. All eligible vendors are given equal opportunity to submit tenders. If you intend to bid please notify WMU at procurement@wmu.se stating the tender reference and contact details. This will allow us to include you in any updates and queries during the tender process.

No, and therefore the Express Interest button is grey. The user is required to carefully read the instructions of the procurement opportunity, which can be found under the Links/Documents tab of the actual procurement opportunity.
