PATH, through its USAID Healthy Markets project (HM) in Vietnam aims to grow a viable commercial market for HIV-related goods and services – including condoms, HIV testing and counseling (HTC), and low dead space syringes (LDSS) – that is capable of meeting the needs of populations facing the greatest risks. The project will leverage private-sector solutions, expertise, interests, and assets to identify market opportunities and catalyze market responses to the HIV epidemic. HM will support a phased transition from an environment where condoms and other related HIV prevention goods and services are predominantly subsidized, to one where non-subsidized commodities, services and distribution channels are the norm.
PATH through this RFP is seeking a consultant or firm to conduct a market analysis. The purpose of the market analysis is to review, map and analyze the current distribution network of condoms, lubricants and LDSS in Ha Noi, Hai Phong and Ho Chi Minh City. This will help HM to understand the current availability and gaps in supply of those products that are critical in preventing HIV transmission among the key populations.
