## About this tender

Actual CPV code is '75211200 Foreign Economic-Aid-Related Services'.

A fire took place at the Government of Ghanaâ&#128;&#153;s Central Medical Store (CMS) on 13 January, resulting in the near total destruction of the building and its contents. The CMS contained up to 12 months of key health supplies such as family planning (FP) commodities, TB treatments, malaria bed-nets and rapid diagnostic kits, anti-retroviral and some Ebola related supplies. Unfortunately the government of Ghana doesnâ&#128;&#153;t insure any government buildings or contents The Ministry of Health (MoH) immediately established a crisis team, which is supported by USAID.

DFIDâ&#128;&#153;s individual loss is estimated at approximately Â£4.3 million. This figure is based on MoH figures quality assured by Crown Agents who procured and delivered all the commodities. DFIDâ&#128;&#153;s commodities comprise of Malaria, FP, and Ebola related commodities, all of which were procured in 2014.

The MOH have launched an emergency appeal to cover 3 months of essential stocks at a cost of Â£15 million, which includes management costs. International procurement will be required given Ghanaâ&#128;&#153;s domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing does not cover many items and the need to ensure both quality and competitive prices through bulk procurement. This needs to happen quickly.

DFID intend to contribute to emergency appeal by a Â£1.9m direct procurement of supplies. DFID may be requested to replenish more at a later stage. This will be funded from our existing health sector support programme. DFID is joining development partners in setting conditions for replenishment. These are: reform the national and warehousing system; government contribute financially through a waiver on VAT and import tax and action on the investigation findings.

DFID will procure the following:

Ebola items: replenishment of the loss of the entire stock. No other development partner (DPs) will do so. Although the emergency plans only requests replenishment of $300,000, we anticipate being asked for the remaining balance very soon and it is more efficient to do one procurement now. The overall cost of procuring the Ebola items is under Â£1,000,000 including that of Crown Agents fees.

### Objective

Procure the agreed DFID contribution to the emergency appeal i.e. equipment for the Ebola Case Management Team in the Ghana Health Service.
