INVITATION TO BID
BID TITLE:
DEVELOPMENT AND NATIONAL DEPLOYMENT OF AN INTEGRATED HTM QUANTIFICATION, PIPELINE MONITORING AND INVENTORY INTELLIGENCE PLATFORM FOR NIGERIA (QUANTIFYING): AI-DRIVEN SUPPLY CHAIN INTELLIGENCE FOR UNINTERRUPTED TB/HIV COMMODITIES IN NIGERIA UNDER GF N-THRIP GRANT
1 Introduction
The Institute of Human Virology, Nigeria (IHVN) is a leading local non-governmental organization implementing HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria, Research, and non-communicable disease projects in Nigeria through the development of infrastructure for treatment, care, prevention, and support for people living with and those affected by these diseases.
2 Background
IHVN) was established in 2004 as a local organization to address the HIV/AIDS crisis in Nigeria through the development of infrastructure for treatment, care, prevention, and support for people living with and that affected by HIV/AIDS but has now expanded its services to other infectious diseases of TB and malaria, including cancers. IHVN is structured to develop and maintain linkages with local and international organizations in collaborative ways that support the Government of Nigeria’s health sector strategic plans. IHVN key technical and funding partners include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Nigeria continues to face significant challenges in the forecasting, quantification, supply planning, and inventory intelligence management of critical public health commodities for HIV, Tuberculosis (TB), Malaria, Reproductive Health, Family Planning, and Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH).
Current national quantification and supply planning processes rely on fragmented and largely non-interoperable tools, including Excel-based systems, QuanTB, QAT, standalone dashboards, and partner-specific applications. These limitations contribute to:
Delayed decision-making, Forecast inaccuracies, Pipeline visibility gaps, Stockouts, Stock imbalances and expiries, Weak interoperability, Duplication of efforts, Limited sustainability and government ownership
To address these gaps, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), in collaboration with partners, seeks to develop and deploy QuantifyNG — an integrated, web-based, open-source national platform for health commodity quantification, supply planning, inventory intelligence, and predictive analytics.
The platform is envisioned to unify: forecasting, pipeline monitoring, procurement planning, inventory intelligence, stock risk visualization, early warning systems for stock disruptions, scenario modelling and AI-assisted analytics and decision support across HIV, TB, Malaria, FP, MNCH, and related public health programs.
The platform will also support interoperability with existing national systems including: NHLMS, mSupply, Pick n pack and other approved national and partner systems.
