The unit will offer up to 26 beds on an approx. 1,400 m2 plot, replacing an obsolete Ebola era temporary structure. Services cover architecture and design coordination, structural engineering, MEP, complete construction tender documentation including drawings, specifications and bills of quantities, permitting support and stakeholder workshops. The target is a fully coordinated, permit cleared, tender ready design package. No estimated value, deadline or procedure details are stated in the notice.

Description

Brief description: The project will strengthen Sierra Leone"s podiatric referral care for communicable diseases by replacing an obsolete Ebola era temporary isolation structure at Ola During Children"s Hospital (ODCH) with a purpose built Paediatric Infectious Diseases/Isolation Unit (IDU). Embedded in BMZ/GIZ"s "Health System Strengthening and Epidemic Prevention - Phase II" and implemented with the Ministry of Health, the facility will expand and modernize inpatient capacity, enhance infection prevention and control (IPC), reduce nosocomial transmission, improve staff safety, and contribute to better clinical outcomes for children. The IDU supports national outbreak preparedness and response. Scope of services: GIZ invites multidisciplinary General Planner Services to deliver a complete, coordinated, permit ready design and tender package for the IDU on an approx. 1,400 m2 plot adjacent to, yet clearly segregated from, the main ODCH compound. Targeted outcome: A fully coordinated, permit cleared, tender ready design package for a modern pediatric IDU at ODCH that enables competitive construction procurement and strengthens IPC performance, safer pediatric care, and epidemic preparedness in Sierra Leone. The assignment covers: Architecture and overall design coordination, site planning, and integration with hospital support services. - Structural engineering (concept to detailed design). - Mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP). - Comprehensive construction tender documentation: coordinated drawings, technical specifications, bills of quantities (BoQs), schedules, method notes, and compliance matrices, and support during the construction contract award process. - Permitting support and authority coordination; facilitation of stakeholder workshops (e.g. kick off). Facility concept and capacity: The pediatric IDU will provide up to 26 beds (around 20% of ODCH"s total bed capacity), integrating isolation wards, triage/treatment rooms, staff/support areas, technical rooms, logistics/storage zones, and safe circulation routes. External works include site development and an internal access road. The location enables segregation for infection control while maintaining functional links to essential services. Design requirements: - Compliance with applicable Sierra Leone regulations and international healthcare standards (IPC, ventilation/air changes and pressure regimes, fire/life safety, healthcare electrical safety). - Safe functional zoning and flows minimizing cross infection risks. - Bioclimatic, context appropriate design for Freetown"s dry and rainy seasons, prioritizing passive measures where feasible and robust, maintainable systems. - Sustainable, reliable energy solutions with critical redundancies to ensure continuity of care. - Consideration of durable, locally available materials meeting quality standards. - Full interface planning for medical and technical equipment. Deliverables: - Basic evaluation and preliminary design (site/massing, functional layouts, discipline concepts, initial schedule and cost estimate). - Schematic design for architecture/structure/MEP with design reports, diagrams, updated cost/schedule. - Detailed design and construction documents suitable for competitive tendering: coordinated drawings (typically 1:20-1:50), specifications, BoQs, contract ready documentation, and a confidential overall cost estimate. - Permit application packages and support to secure approvals prior to tender launch. Implementation period and inputs: Design and tender documentation are expected from July to late November 2026. Only design services are included under this tender; subsequent construction procurement will be conducted via separate competitive procedures. Existing land survey, geotechnical investigations, and a feasibility study will be provided to shortlisted tenderers.
