Quick Answer
Healthcare procurement for NGOs must meet UNGM (UN Global Marketplace) standards, donor compliance requirements (such as USAID, FCDO, EU), WHO prequalification where applicable, and audit-ready documentation.

Requirements from donors such as USAID, UK FCDO, and the EU, covering supplier due diligence, competitive sourcing, quality, and traceability, with documentation that withstands audit.
