REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (REOI/RFP) FOR TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
‘REVIEW OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE TSOS TO HEALTH SYSTEM STRENGTHENING IN NIGERIA AS PART OF THE GLOBAL FUND-FUNDED RSSH STANDALONE GRANT’
REF: REO/RFP-RSSH-2021-001
A. INTRODUCTION
Management Sciences for Health (MSH), a global health nonprofit organization, uses proven approaches developed over 40 years to help leaders, health managers, and communities in developing nations build stronger health systems for greater health impact. We work to save lives by closing the gap between
knowledge and action in public health. Since its founding in 1971, MSH has worked in over 150 countries with policy makers, health professionals, and health care consumers to improve the quality, availability and affordability of health services. Working with governments, donors, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, and health agencies, MSH responds to priority health problems such as HIV & AIDS; tuberculosis; malaria; maternal, newborn and child health; family planning and reproductive health; and chronic non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and lung and heart disease. Through strengthening capacity, investing in health systems innovation, building the evidence base, and advocating for sound public health policy, MSH is committed to making a lasting difference in global health.
MSH Abuja Country Office is requesting interested and qualified companies that meet the below requirement to submit their document for review and registration as vendors.
The goal of this REP is to select/hire an organization which is legally registered in Nigeria, having experience, expertise and ability to provide technical assistance to determine the extent to which the interventions supported by the TSOS have contributed to improving the health system and quality of
services in Imo, Kaduna and Oyo States.
The GF RSSH project hopes to achieve all these at the National level, through interventions in laboratory services, health information management systems (HMIS) and procurement and supply management (PSM) along the six pillars of HSS (i.e. HRH, Governance, Health information, Service delivery, medical
products and health finance). The RSSH project also focuses on supporting three prioritized states (i.e. Imo, Kaduna, and Oyo) to improve their health systems. These states were selected by GF prior to the start of RSSH based on local willingness to support intervention and presence of other donors that are also supporting health system strengthening activities. While the intervention in laboratory services, health information management systems (HMIS) and procurement and supply management (PSM) intervention were implemented at the national level, Management Sciences for Health (MSH) worked with Health
Systems Consult Limited (HSCL) and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) as the Technical Services Organizations (TSO) to implement the State-level interventions in the three prioritized states mentioned above.
The overall purpose of the assessment is to determine the extent to which the interventions supported by the TSOS have contributed to improving the health system and quality of services in these 3 states. It will also highlight how effective and sustainable are the interventions in achieving the set objectives in the states, including contribution to improving HIV, TB and Malaria services.
