Malaria Consortium invites interested registered Logistics Companies to express interest by tendering EOI documents for the following works
Malaria Consortium is one of the world's leading non-profit organizations dedicated to the comprehensive control of malaria and other communicable diseases in Africa and Southeast Asia. Malaria Consortium works with communities, government and non-government agencies, academic institutions, and local and international organizations, to ensure good evidence supports delivery of effective services, providing technical support for monitoring and evaluation of programmes and activities for evidence-based decision-making and strategic planning. The organization works to improve not only the health of the individual, but also the capacity of national health systems, which helps to relieve poverty and support improved economic prosperity.
Malaria Consortium supports multiple projects in Nigeria with different projects starting and ending each year, as such our demand for supplies and services nationally and internationally varies year on year. The majority of Malaria Consortium supply and service needs are procured locally in our countries of operation where the right price and quality can be obtained. Internationally sourced products predominantly include pharmaceutical and medical items, with other small ad hoc needs on rare occasions (including vehicles).
