Bio-Medical Engineering Consultant to Supervise the Installation of Oxygen Plant & Medical Waste Incinerator in Kassala
Procurement reference No: GF/IC/24/055
The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the GF), established in 2002, is an innovative public–private partnership with the aim of bringing additional resources to country’s responses to HIV/AIDS, TB and Malaria. As part of its wider engagement with the United Nations, the Global Fund has partnered with UNDP since 2003 to ensure that grants are implemented, and services are delivered in countries facing complex challenges. UNDP is called upon to serve as interim Principal Recipient particularly in countries with complex emergencies or other exceptional circumstances, where no suitable local entity could be identified. In their role as Principal Recipient, UNDP COs are responsible for the implementation of infrastructure projects to support resilient and sustainable health system strengthening.
As part of its role in strengthening resilient and sustainable health systems, UNDP oversees critical infrastructure projects, including those funded through the COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19RM) grant. Under this initiative, the Global Fund has allocated resources for essential healthcare infrastructure, such as oxygen plants and Heavy duty Medical waste incinerator, to enhance public health capacity in Sudan.
To ensure the successful installation and operational integrity of these oxygen plants, UNDP seeks to engage an experienced Biomedical Engineer. The consultant will be responsible for supervising the installation at Kassala Teaching Hospital in Kassala State.
The Biomedical Engineer will oversee all stages of the installation process, ensuring compliance with technical specifications, quality standards, and regulatory requirements. Key responsibilities include:
- Coordinating with project stakeholders to ensure smooth execution.
- Conducting site assessments to evaluate infrastructure readiness.
- Verifying equipment compliance with required standards.
- Supervising contractors to ensure timely completion and adherence to best practices.
By maintaining these standards, the consultant will play a vital role in enhancing healthcare services in Sudan, supporting the national response to public health demands and environmental safety requirements.
This TOR outlines the objectives, responsibilities, and qualifications required for the Biomedical Engineer to fulfil this critical supervisory role effectively.
Period of assignment/services is for 99 working days, estimated to start in April to October 2025, subject to the date of contract signing and revision in implementation schedule.
Proposal should be submitted directly in the portal no later than the indicated deadline.
Any request for clarification must be sent in writing via messaging functionality in the portal. UNDP will respond in writing including an explanation of the query without identifying the source of inquiry.
