The Union des groupements d'achats publics (UGAP) is a public industrial and commercial establishment (EPIC) under the supervision of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts and the Minister of National Education. It is the only "generalist" public procurement agency in France, which stands out for its partnership policy, its commitment to public policies (innovation, SMEs, sustainable development) and its "purchase for resale" operation.
Indeed, this allows the customer to access immediately, and without having to conclude any contract, more than 1.4 million active references from more than 3400 active markets. The designation of a single commercial contact, the possibility of using an online ordering site, and the settlement of any disputes on its behalf, allow public purchasers to free up valuable time to meet their growing obligations.
