Objective and Purpose of the Assignment

The Government of Uzbekistan (GOU) is investing in the country’s infrastructure across multiple sectors including health. As part of this, GOU is considering building new or refurbishing existing hospital facilities in priority regions. It is envisaged that relevant specialty services will be consolidated into a single location, the multi-disciplinary hospital. GOU has also resolved to develop the multi-disciplinary hospital in Bukhara under Public Private Partnership (PPP) modality (the “Project”) where prospective private sector players are expected to deliver new/improved infrastructure, equipment and clinical services. In this context, the Office of Markets Development and Public Private Partnership (OMDP) at Asian Development Bank (ADB) is providing Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) to the Ministry of Health (MOH) and PPP Development Department (PPPDD) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MOEF), collectively the Clients, in defining, structuring and procuring the Project as well as attracting qualified private sector investors. GOU is also receiving Technical Assistance from the Asia Pacific Project Preparation Facility (AP3F) for these activities. We anticipate the Project to be implemented in two phases: Phase-1: Project due diligence, structuring, preparation of PPP concept and Project Evaluation Document (PED) as required by Uzbekistan PPP law; and Phase-2: Tender process leading to commercial and financial closure.

ADB has engaged consultants covering different areas of expertise such as environmental safeguards, social safeguards, legal and health to support OMDP in defining, procuring and successfully delivering the Project. This Terms of Reference (TOR) relates to the recruitment of a qualified International Technical Advisor (the TA) to cover technical and commercial aspects and support implementation of the Project. The TA would be expected to work seamlessly with other advisors in delivering the Project.An interim consultant has been engaged by ADB to undertake the assessments related to (i) demand- supply gap in the city, (ii) site suitability, (iii) market sounding feedback from prospective developers, hospital operators and/or investors, (iv) medical specialty mix for consolidation, (iv) whole life cost projections, (v) high level shadow bid model, and (vi) draft PED under Phase-1. To progress the Project, the new TA will review and familiarize themselves with existing project report and analysis. The TA will not be expected to re-do the above work already carried out but progress using the previous reports and analysis.
