Please note, no Dropbox account has to be created to reach the content, please simply close the pop up window.

This RFP covers ten work packages that relate to cost and impact modelling. It is largely envisaged that the development of cost models/tools  and impact models will be done in such a way as to allow for integration within the Integrated Health Tool (IHT). The IHT is the name given to the ongoing migration and redesign of the OneHealth Tool (OHT) within an online platform. The IHT is therefore intended as a comprehensive health systems tool which covers many different interlinked health programmes, diseases and health systems areas, all connected through a common framework and modular structure.

Access to the beta version of the Integrated Health Tool can be granted upon request.  It should be noted that access will be given to a beta version of the tool as it is still under development and not yet publicly available. For this reason, bidders should only use the link for purposes of the proposal and not share the link further.   

Please submit your request via the "Correspondence" tab.

RFP Published by WHO on 24 April 2023 The date appearing above as “Published on” may differ since it corresponds to the publication of additional sets of documents such as Answers to Bidders questions if any.

Please be informed that there will be a non-mandatory bidders conference to be held remotely via MS Teams on 04 May 2023 from 13:30 to 15:00 at CET time.  

The purpose of a bidders’ conference is to enhance the understanding of the requirement among the participating bidders in a solicitation.
