Answers made simple

AUSCMX is the African Union Supply Chain Management X public gateway. It brings together procurement opportunities, official documents, vendor verification, public news, and support access in one digital environment.

No. Published public opportunities and their official documents can be reviewed without signing in. Account access may be required when a controlled submission or vendor workflow begins.

The language selector supports English, French, Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, and Kiswahili preferences. Some source records or uploaded procurement documents may remain in the language in which they were officially published.

Use the Help Center and select “Portal access or technical issue” or “Accessibility support.” Include the page, device or browser, and a clear description of what happened.

Open and published opportunities appear on the Bids & Procurements page. Use the search and status information to identify a relevant notice, then open it to review dates, requirements, and documents.

The opportunity notice and downloadable tender documents published through the portal are the official sources. Always review the complete document set and any later clarification or addendum.

No. A submission can only be accepted while the application window is open. Plan for document preparation and upload time before the published deadline.

The applicable tender rules determine whether a response can be changed or withdrawn. Follow the instructions in the procurement documents and use the official clarification channel where necessary.

No. Registration, verification, invitation, bid submission, evaluation, and award are separate stages. No registration or verification result guarantees an invitation or contract award.

Businesses, cooperatives, consultants, contractors, manufacturers, and service providers seeking to participate in relevant African Union supply opportunities may submit a vendor verification registration.

The public form requires an official business registration certificate and tax certificate. A company profile or brochure is optional. Documents must match the legal entity information entered in the form.

AUSCMX creates a pending verification record and gives you a unique reference. The African Union may review completeness, eligibility, capability, and supporting records before deciding the next onboarding step.

The public form is not a vendor directory. Supporting documents are stored privately for authorised review. Any later publication or sharing is governed by the applicable African Union process and data controls.

Never enter passwords, authentication codes, private bank credentials, confidential bid prices, or other secrets in a public support form. Follow the secure procurement submission path for protected bid information.
