Tender Details

Request for proposals are invited for Technical Assistance to Upgrade 15 Regional Medical Stores Data Systems, Enable Data Integration and Improved Data Use (Analysis/Dashboards) in Chad.

About Chad SC data improvement needs at central and regional level
To date Global Fund has supported the strengthening supply chain management information
systems at the Central and the regional Medical Stores in Chad by upgrading the ERP system
(to SAGE-100 cloud Enterprise Premium) and the associated hardware (SQL server,
computers, operating system) including support for installation of new licenses, system
configuration and testing, database/data migration (product and repositories) and user
training.
Furthermore, Global Fund has supported the Central Medical Store (CMS) to develop a
national health product catalogue with improving product codes, naming and categorization.
The process of data migration was a good opportunity to upload the new product catalogue.
The installation of a more robust ERP also necessitated the revision of Standard Operating
Procedures for pharmaceutical management. These changes have resulted in streamlining
warehouse operations, accurate inventory tracking, efficient customer order processing and
minimal disruptions related to IT equipment failures.

The SC network in Chad is a three-tier system consisting of a central medical store, 15 regional medical stores (RMS) serving about 1700 health facilities in the country. The RMS are administratively independent of the CMS due to decentralization policy. CMS has limited visibility in the operations of the RMS and there is limited joint planning of needs. A Logistics management unit (LMU) has been established at the Ministry of Health, Directorate of Pharmaceutical services to work closely with CMS, vertical programs and RMS to improve supply management of health products in the country. Both the LMU and CMS lack the data and information needed to inform supply chain strategic/policy and operations management decisions. The benefit of improved operations at CMS cannot be fully realized without resolving this problem.

Scope and rationale of services requires
The country requests Global Fund to support the following objectives.
a. Support harmonization and linkage/integration of central and regional medical stores
operations for improved visibility and national inventory management through
• the upgrade of various versions of SAGE applications at the 15 regional stores to SAGE100 cloud Enterprise Premium and the associated SOPs
• use the updated national health product list and coding at all regional stores
• create a logistic link between the RMS and the CMS
b. Strengthen the LMIS unit and supply data use at CMS and Ministry of Health through
improved essential SC data reporting and analytics (indicator-based dashboards) to
support policy and operations management decisions. Furthermore, the MoH through the
LMIS unit shall be resourced to troubleshoot SAGE at the 15+1 stores.
c. Optimize data capture from improved paper-based HF LMIS data reporting forms to
enhance availability of service delivery point LMIS data to all 15 regions and its
aggregation for use by CMS/MoH-LMIS unit
