As a vital supporter of relief aid, The UN requires a wide range of products- everything from communication devices and machine parts to marketing and information services. It\u2019s big business with an export market worth more than 18 billion USD a year. For companies to collaborate with the UN it\u2019s crucial to understand the procurement process and have good ongoing relations with the international organization. That\u2019s why we were pleased to be in attendance at the UN Nordic Procurement Seminar, recently held at UN City in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the event we at\nRecotech met with some some of the key people from the procurement departments\nof the different UN organizations. In one-on-one meetings, managing\ndirector, Bo\nMartin Tell, was able to show and discuss the benefit of the WingLift Carrier\nsystem with UN procurement officers. The held activities offered good\nopportunities to establish new relationships with many UN representatives, as\nwell as other Nordic companies that deliver to the UN and NGOs. The seminar also gave a unique\nview on what vendors can do to better position themselves for procurement relations with the UN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
