National Project Implementation Plan - NVBDCP

Chapter 12
Procurement Arrangements
The NVBDCP envisages large scale procurement of pharmaceuticals,
insecticides, long lasting insecticide treated nets, diagnostic kits, vehicles and
services etc. while no civil works are planned under the project. About 85% of
total project cost is estimated to be incurred on procurement of goods and
services. The project will cover selected high burden districts among the
diseases prone states. Initially the procurement under the project will only be
handled at National level 29 . The proposed assessment of the procurement
capacities of the states (which MOHFW is taking up in association with the
World Bank and DFID) will determine the decision on decentralizing
procurement to states or state agencies found to have satisfactory capacity.
The details of items to be procured at NVBDCP level are indicated in the Table.

procedure. Apart from expenditure on contractual staff, there will be some expenditure on training
and mobility of staff at decentralized levels, which may involve a few very low value purchases of
routine items. These expenditures (totaling to US$ 25.28 Million) will be monitored as per the
procedure described in Chapter 10 and no procurement post review will be conducted for these
transactions.
