Senegal: Hospitals and Mobile Healthcare Trailers Public Private Partnership Project


The Grantee invites submission of qualifications and proposal data (collectively referred to as the “Proposal”) from interested U.S. firms that are qualified on the basis of experience and capability to execute a feasibility study (“Study”) for the Senegalese Ministry of Economy, Planning and Cooperation (“MEPC” or “Grantee”) that would support the development of approximately four greenfield hospitals and the deployment of approximately three to five mobile healthcare trailers (“MHT”) in Senegal (“Project”). The submission deadline is Friday, July 15, 2022, at 5 p.m. Dakar local time/ 1 p.m. EDT. Questions regarding the proposal must be submitted by 3 p.m. EDT, Friday, June 10. The U.S. firm selected will be paid in U.S. dollars from a $1,041,400 grant to MEPC from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency.


About the Grantee
Led by Minister Amadou Hott, the Minister of Economy, Planning, and Cooperation, and employing a staff of 40, MEPC’s primary responsibilities include the coordination, negotiation, and management of external financing and technical assistance with international partners as well as developing frameworks for cooperation. MEPC will be responsible for structuring, financing, and building the Project and the Senegalese Ministry of Health and Social Affairs (“MSAS”) will be responsible for the delivery of services and will likely serve as the public counterpart under the PPP, depending on the PPP structure. While MEPC would serve as the Grantee for the Study, MSAS would also be a key stakeholder in the Study and the Project. MSAS is responsible for the preparation, implementation, and monitoring of health policy as well as coordinating and monitoring the implementation of health programs in Senegal.

Project Background
The objective of the Project is to expand access to modern healthcare systems within Senegal through designing, financing, building/acquiring, and operating healthcare facilities, including four greenfield hospitals and approximately three to five MHTs in Senegal using a public private partnership (“PPP”) model. The new healthcare facilities would expand access to modern healthcare systems across cities within Senegal. The precise size, location, and type of hospital facilities (i.e., facility specifications) could range from small-scale primary care clinics to tertiary care hospitals with over 250 beds; however, it is currently expected that the facilities would likely be at least medium-sized hospitals and one of them would be located in the city of Saint-Louis in northern Senegal.


About the Study
The Study would assess the technical, market, and financial feasibility of the Project. While the Project is anticipated to involve four greenfield hospitals and approximately three to five MHTs, the actual size and exact locations and specifications of these facilities would be further defined in the Study. On the demand side, the Study would determine gaps in the healthcare marketplace in Senegal and would examine the characteristics of various categories of patients. On the supply side, the Study would examine current healthcare facilities and alternatives to the Project, which would result in the determination of facility specifications that fill market gaps. Additionally, the Study would quantitatively and qualitatively examine various PPP models which would result in a recommendation to MEPC on the most advantageous PPP model for the Project and an associated financing and implementation plan. This recommendation would align with the newly approved PPP law in Senegal that provides guidance on private investment and partnership with the GoS.
