Tajikistan opens a health-security consulting assignment spanning laboratories, surveillance and veterinary supply chains

Verified facts

• ADB published on 6 October 2026 an international quality-based-selection notice for a consulting firm under project 59108-001. The notice specifies support for veterinary epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, laboratory techniques and management, disease surveillance and veterinary supply chains, with a stated 36-month engagement period and USD 620,886 consulting-services budget.
• The notice identifies the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population as executing agency and the Committee on Food Security among implementing agencies. It provides a published expression-of-interest deadline of 17 November 2026. The notice is a procurement record, not evidence that a firm is eligible, shortlisted, appointed or entitled to subsequent work.
• ADB describes the wider health-security project as supporting public-health laboratory capacity, disease-surveillance integration, climate-resilient primary care and cross-border health security. The proposed project record and its procurement plan provide programme context; individual package documentation, amendments and current eligibility requirements remain controlling.
• WHO’s 2026 primary-health-care financing report provides independent context on Tajikistan’s service-delivery reform, including the Sughd pilot. It is not procurement documentation and cannot determine the technical, commercial or contractual position of this assignment.
