UNDP Invites offers for the design and construction of a new regional medical warehouse in Masvingo, Zimbabwe

Interested and qualified bidders are required to note that an information pre-bid meeting has been scheduled to take place at Natpharm's main offices in Harare on 16 th January 2017. Interested bidders shall note the instructions and guidance in the tender dossier should they be interested in attending this information meeting.

Procurement and supply management are key elements of the grants of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria managed by UNDP and other partners in Zimbabwe.  NatPharm is the central actor of the Ministry of Health for the storage and distribution of health commodities in Zimbabwe. The supplies for the three diseases may cater for up to 40% of the total volume of supplies handled in the public sector.

The last years have been marked by a dramatic increase of total volumes of health commodities handled by NatPharm.   At the same time there have been plans to improve the handling capacity of this supply chain by constructing a new warehouse at Masvingo.

The lack of sufficient space at central and regional warehouses for storage and handling of supplies is affecting capacity and quality of operations and hampering the efforts of NatPharm to provide quality logistics services.

UNDP-GF provides an active support to this process financing for a new NatPharm medical warehouse for Masvingo.
