Procurement & Supply Services
Bringing essential medicines to the most urgent locations and patients poses a series of challenges. Products must be procured at the best price, and must be delivered in good condition. Local knowledge must be available for effective deliveries. Necessary procedures, facilities, and systems have to be in place. These must be implemented correctly to achieve efficiency and quality control.

i+solutions faces these challenges together with our clients by delivering PSA services for pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and equipment. We offer:

  • Procurement support: advice on quantification, forecasting and requirement planning, procurement, distribution, and evaluation 
  • Procurement services: comprehensive services based on the use of modern (IT) tools and methods to reach favorable contract conditions and achieve transparency. 
  • Project design and implementation: improvements in national pharmaceutical supply chain management, in particular for HIV/aids, food and RH programs. 
  • Logistical support: active support and input to ensure that products do arrive in good condition at the desired location of use.

i+solutions management has long standing experience in building procurement knowledge and capacity, and in managing the storage and distribution of medical supplies and equipment with assured quality.
