Details

WHO is seeking a qualified, eligible and competent Implementing Agency to provide the financial, administrative, logistical and documentation support required for the 2026 subnational roll-out of Quality of Care (QoC) improvement for antenatal, intrapartum, postpartum and essential newborn care in Papua New Guinea.

The National Quality of Care Technical Team provides national leadership and coordinated technical support to help Provincial Health Authorities (PHAs) and health facilities assess quality of care, identify priority gaps, develop and implement improvement actions, strengthen clinical competencies through coaching and mentoring, monitor progress and establish a continuous quality improvement cycle.

The national QoC arrangement has three core technical pillars: the National Department of Health (NDoH), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Professional Societies comprising the PNG Obstetrics & Gynaecology Society, PNG Paediatric Society and PNG Midwifery Society. PHAs and participating health facilities are the subnational owners and implementers of QoC improvement. The selected Implementing Agency is an implementation support mechanism that enables the agreed roll-out through fund management, logistics, administration and documentation.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this capacity building & technical assistance opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.

  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
