The Authority wishes to undertake Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) in a proportionate and transparent manner to help refine the upcoming procurement for Medical Aid Brokerage Services for the British High Commission Dar es Salaam.
The purpose of this engagement is to gather market insight, test deliverability of the draft requirements, and ensure the specification, KPIs, Conditions of Participation, and commercial approach are suitable, realistic, and attractive to the market.
The PME aims to:
Understand brokerage capabilities for Tanzania based employee populations (benefit design advisory, market testing, placements with insurers/medical schemes, renewal strategy).
Explore service models (local brokerage, regional hubs, global networks) and fee structures (fixed fee, capped fee, success?linked, hybrid).
Validate compliance, governance and data protection approaches (including handling of personal/health data and local regulatory requirements).
Test approaches to member servicing (onboarding, helpdesk, claims escalation), provider network stewardship, and reporting/analytics.
This engagement is conducted under PA23 s.16 to help prepare the procurement and will be managed to avoid unfair advantage or distortion of competition.
