UN Agencies — Core Registration Hub
5 entriesOne registration reaches 20+ UN agencies.
UN Global Marketplace (UNGM) Start here
What it is: Shared procurement portal for the whole UN system — a single registration reaches 20+ agencies (UNICEF, UNDP, UNHCR, WFP, UNESCO, UNOPS, IOM and more).
Action: Register the company, accept the UN Supplier Code of Conduct, select relevant UNSPSC codes (video/photo/media production, communications services), then monitor tender notices matching those codes.
UNICEF Comms budget
What it is: The Division of Communications regularly procures advertising, audio-visual production, videography, photography documentation, and creative production directly — spanning campaign, training, and social content, not only documentary work.
Action: Register via UNGM (cite UNICEF vendor ID once assigned) and separately review the Supply Division's own postings.
UNDP Active postings
What it is: The single most active buyer of video work in this list — country offices run frequent RFPs spanning documentary series, animation hybrids, and awareness-campaign video tied to specific programs.
Action: Watch the UNDP procurement portal directly — notices are searchable and often more current than UNGM mirrors.
Evidence: three separate 2026 country-office RFPs (Sri Lanka, Namibia, Afghanistan) — see the Video & Media Project Collection at the top of this page for dates and links.
UNHCR Fundraising video
What it is: Private Sector Partnerships (PSP) regional teams run recurring frame agreements for fundraising/campaign video and photography — a strong fit for agency-style production.
Action: Register in the UNHCR Supplier portal and UNGM; watch for PSP-branded RFQs by region (Africa, Netherlands, and other national PSP offices each run their own).
Evidence (posted Dec 2025, 24-month term so still active): PSP Netherlands video frame agreement (RFQ-25-017); PSP Africa videography/photography frame agreement based in Kenya with regional outreach; Kuala Lumpur representation-office video production RFP.
WFP — World Food Programme Roster-based
What it is: Sources through the UNGM roster system; needs Level 2 registration under the relevant UNSPSC code, then Vendor Management Committee approval per commodity roster.
Action: Complete the "Initial Paper Assessment" and register free of charge through UNGM specifying WFP roster inclusion.
Multilateral & Development Finance
6 entriesUNESCO, ILO and ITC post the clearest video RFPs.
UNESCO Frequent RFPs
What it is: Publishes standalone "Call for Proposals" / RFP documents per project — often open to production houses, creative agencies, and documentary studios directly (not gatekept behind UNGM alone).
Evidence (Jul 2026): documentary short film + teaser for a youth-voices/LGBTIQ+ education project across four Asian countries — see the Video & Media Project Collection at the top of this page.
UNOPS Runs for other agencies
What it is: Often executes procurement on behalf of UNDP and other agencies (e.g. Equator Prize event/video production) — worth registering with separately since it multiplies exposure to UN-wide briefs.
Action: Register as a UNOPS vendor via UNGM, then use UNOPS eSourcing to view and respond to live tenders.
IOM WAVE platform
What it is: Migration-focused agency; issues solicitations through its own "WAVE" tendering platform in addition to UNGM presence.
World Bank Group / IFC Comms retainers
What it is: Corporate procurement office runs both project-level results-documentation work (feature stories, video testimonials, photography) and larger retained "Communications and Creative Services" contracts covering branding, video and animation production.
ILO Recurring campaigns
What it is: International Labour Organization runs country-level media procurement combining photography, videography and multi-channel digital campaigns (video plus SMS/mobile) rather than documentary alone — a good sign the org buys general media production, not just impact films.
Evidence: Vietnam photography/videography for the Vision Zero Fund & CLEAR Supply Chain (re-advertised, closed Apr 2026 — recurring); Egypt financial-literacy video + bulk SMS + mobile campaign (closed Jun 2026).
ITC — International Trade Centre Story + photo
What it is: Joint UN/WTO trade-development agency; commissions human-interest story videos paired with photography for flagship programs (e.g. SheTrade women-entrepreneurs initiative).
Evidence: two story videos + photography for women entrepreneurs in India and Vietnam, via the In-Tend procurement platform (closed Mar 2026).
Major INGOs
6 entriesCase studies, social video, and campaign content — not documentary alone.
Oxfam
Registration: Direct email registration per country office (subject line "REGISTRATION '[company name]'"), plus tenders listed nationally.
Evidence (Jul 2026): Ethiopia RFQ for a social-media video/animation/motion-graphics package; separate 2D-animation video-production consultant RFP.
Mercy Corps
Registration: Supplier Information Form, submitted ahead of any RFP participation.
International Rescue Committee (IRC)
What it is: Runs media/content-production RFPs under Master Service Agreements (typically 6-month terms), historically including emergency-response media and PR support alongside straightforward video work.
Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC)
What it is: Posts video-documentary tenders directly by country office through its own digital procurement system.
Evidence (Feb 2025, cited as a recurring pattern rather than a current opening): Nigeria "Video Documentary" tender (submissions to ng.tenders@nrc.no).
World Vision International
Registration: Global Procurement Office Supplier Registration Form (company profile, registration certificate, tax certificate, latest audit).
Plan International
What it is: Publishes an internationally-advertised tenders page; has jointly tendered with CARE, Mercy Corps and Save the Children on shared-services contracts, suggesting cross-agency framework opportunities exist.
Aggregator Platforms
ReferencePool tenders across donors and agencies in one place.
| Platform | Coverage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DevelopmentAid | UN agencies, EC, bilateral donors, development banks — has a dedicated "Marketing & Media" sector filter | Strongest single source found for video/media tenders specifically; searchable by sector and country. Confirmed live "Marketing & Media" listings across UN Women, GEF/UNDP, EC, SPREP. |
| ReliefWeb | OCHA-run humanitarian jobs & notice board | Mostly jobs/vacancies rather than procurement, but worth a recurring keyword search ("video," "media," "documentation") for consultancy-style briefs. |
| TendersOnTime | Broad global tender tracker incl. UN, World Bank, IFC, UNESCO | Useful as a secondary cross-check; paywalled beyond headlines on some notices. |
| GlobalTenders / BidDetail | Funding-agency-indexed tender lists (Oxfam, NRC, Plan, IRC, IOM, etc.) | Good for a per-organization historical view when scoping which INGOs tender video work most often. |
Suggested next steps
- Register once, broadly: Complete the UNGM company registration first — it is the single action that opens visibility into 20+ UN agencies at once, including UNICEF, UNDP, UNHCR, WFP, UNESCO, UNOPS and IOM.
- Set UNSPSC codes deliberately: select codes covering video production, photography/documentation, and communications/creative services so the registration surfaces the right notice types.
- Layer in direct INGO registrations: Oxfam, Mercy Corps, IRC, NRC, World Vision and Plan International each run separate supplier forms outside UNGM — these are quick, low-cost additions.
- Monitor DevelopmentAid's Marketing & Media filter weekly — it surfaced more directly-relevant, currently-open video tenders than any single organization's own page.
- Pitch broader than documentary: the Video & Media Project Collection above shows UNDP, UNESCO, ILO and ITC all buying campaign video, animation hybrids, training content and photography just as often as impact films — lead with range, not a single format.
- Treat this as a monitoring habit, not a one-time list: most relevant notices close in 2–4 weeks. Re-run this search monthly rather than acting only on the links captured here — and re-check every dated posting's status before referencing it in outreach material.
