Invitation to Bid at MAPS

Invitation to Bid

The Nigeria MAPS project has issued an RFP to request qualified companies (offerors) to submit a proposal of its technical qualifications as well as associated budget for services specified below. MAPS is seeking a qualified company to customize a web-based data management system for surveillance of malaria parasite in selected health facilities nationwide as determined by the National Malaria Control Program.

 

Rationale:

Surveillance is defined as ongoing and systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data about cases of a disease and is used as a basis for planning, implementing, and evaluating disease prevention and control activities. There are concerted efforts to strengthen the harmonized HMIS and the National Malaria Control Programme is actively involved in this process through its partners’ support, the information captured is however inadequate to capture some basic operational information required to assist programme designing and policy formulation. The Malaria Parasite Sentinel Surveillance (MPSS) therefore is a system established to continuously and systematically collect daily information from the laboratory on individuals presenting with symptoms of malaria, and follow up for all confirmed cases following the administration of antimalarial medicines
