Introduction

Individual Consultancy Services

Invitation to Submit an Offer as a National PSM consultant for Quality Assurance (health products) 

Procurement reference No: GF/IC/24/036

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) is the United Nations' global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build better lives. We are on the ground in 170 countries and territories, working with governments and citizens on their own solutions to global and national development challenges to help empower lives and build resilient nations.

The UNDP Office in Sudan is a key partner of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund) and serves as the Principal Recipient of the HIV and TB grants and C19 RM (COVID-19 Response Mechanism) funds. In its role of Principal Recipient (PR), the Country Office is responsible for the financial and programmatic management of the Global Fund grant as well as the procurement of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical health products. In all areas of grant implementation, the Country Office provides capacity development services to relevant institutions, sub-recipients and implementing partners. For the implementation of Global Fund grants, UNDP Sudan has established a Program Management Unit (PMU) that coordinates grant implementation and provides general guidance on the Global Fund rules and procedures to all grantees and sub-recipients involved in this implementation.

UNDP’s main counterparts in Sudan for the management of health products are the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), the National Medical Supplies Fund (NMSF), and the National Medicines and Poisons Board (NMPB)

UNDP’s partnership with the Global Fund and other health partners (e.g. GAVI) is overseen by the Global Fund Partnership and Health Systems Team (GFPHST), HIV and Health Group, BPPS/GPN. The GFPHST provides its 
support to COs through a country team approach to strengthen and integrate the different functional capacities, leveraging technical assistance and policy support from the HIV and Health Group and other GPN teams and advisory
 services from the Office of Audit and Investigations (OAI).

Objective

Under the direct supervision of the Sudan Procurement and Supply Chain Specialist, and in collaboration with the PMU staff, and with inputs from the QA teams of GFPHST, the consultant will complete assignments relating to the country quality assurance and quality control of health products (e.g., pharmaceuticals, condoms, lubricants, in-vitro diagnostic tests, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)) purchased under the TB, HIV and C19RM grants.
