Although operational from 2020, the system requires enhancements to achieve full warehouse functionality and to optimize integration with other national health information systems.
The objective of this procurement is to engage a qualified firm(s) to provide comprehensive technical services in support of the NMS+ ERP system and its integration with listed Government of Uganda approved information systems currently in use.
The key areas of work under this procurement are as follows:

Following this RFP, Chemonics anticipates awarding one or multiple Indefinite Quantity Subcontracts (IQS) and may issue accompanying Sub Task Orders (STOs). During implementation of the work solicited in this RFP, the IQS instrument will serve as the governing subcontract for the work and relationship between the contractor and subcontractor, while the STOs instruments will be used by the contractor to order work from the subcontractor as needed, within the parameters of the IQS. Only IQS holders may bid on STOs under the IQS.
