Tender description

The Department for International Development (DFID) is seeking a service provider (SP) to deliver sexual and reproductive health services in Zimbabwe. The Supporting a Resilient Health System in Zimbabwe (SRHS) programme was approved in May 2017 and will run until May 2022. It is anticipated that the SP will provide services from November 2018 until May 2022. This is a Prior Information Notice only (PIN). Publication and call for competition will be conducted once scope of work is fully defined and approved. To confirm, this is an PIN and no tender documents available at this stage. The scope includes working with the private sector to scale up access to, and use of, quality modern family planning using a combination of social franchising and social marketing approaches, specifically targeting the underserved groups highlighted above. To achieve the desired outcomes, the implementing partner will address both the supply and demand side of family planning services. The programme has a strong focus on “leaving no-one behind” and includes the provision of services for adolescent and young people and those living with disabilities. The Service Provider will need to plan and work in collaboration with the public sector and other development partners (e.g. UNFPA, USAID, Global Funds and other NGOs) to avoid duplication, improve efficiencies, and increase access to quality family planning and sexual and reproductive health services.
