UNDP-AGO-00235,1 - Training of CECOMA Technical Staff in Supply Chain & Public Procurement - UNDP - ANGOLA

Description

Introduction Background Under the INTEGRA Angola Initiative, designed to strengthen national systems and enhance efficiency, transparency, and sustainability in public resource management, and aligned with the Health Resilience Project funded with the support of the European Investment Bank (EIB), UNDP is providing technical and institutional support to the Government of Angola with a particular focus on health systems strengthening. This support includes targeted investments to reinforce the national health supply chain, with emphasis on the strategic role of the Central Medical Procurement Agency (CECOMA). The assistance aims to improve logistics operations, enhance transparency, strengthen institutional capacity, and build the competencies of technical staff involved in supply chain and public procurement processes. As the national institution responsible for procuring, storing, and distributing medical commodities, CECOMA is mandated to ensure timely, efficient, and equitable delivery of essential health products across the country. To fulfill this mission, the institution has demonstrated a commitment to modernization, institutional strengthening, and adoption of national and international best practices. Some of the key operational challenges to alleviate include coordination between central, provincial and municipal levels; data accuracy, distribution constraints and sustainable logistics reporting. Accordingly, UNDP proposes a structured capacity‑building programme for CECOMA technical staff focused on supply chain management and public procurement principles. Specific Objectives · Improve logistics procedures and operational efficiency between CECOMA and provincial units. · Strengthen transparency in the management of health commodities and in procurement processes. · Establish a logistics database that supports rapid and effective decision‑making at provincial and reference hospital levels. · Improve the visibility, quality, and reliability of logistics data to inform decision‑making. · Upgrade the trainee professional competence to the extent that he/she will promote and sustain the knowledge sharing once back to his/her duty station Scope of Work The contractor shall be responsible for the full delivery of training services , including: Training Design Training Delivery Training Materials Assessment Knowledge Transfer Reporting The evaluation method and evaluation criteria are described in Anexx 1 and 5 of the RFP document and will follow the structure of: ☒ Highest Combined Score (based on the 70% technical offer and 30% price weight distribution) ☒ Full acceptance of the UNDP Contract General Terms and Conditions (GTC).
