12 February 2014 - The number of companies bidding to be suppliers through the PHARMAC tender has grown to its largest size ever.
PHARMAC runs a tender each year, asking pharmaceutical suppliers to provide pricing proposals for off-patent medicines listed on the Pharmaceutical Schedule. The current tender round, which opened in November, has now closed with a record response.
Director of Operations Sarah Fitt says PHARMAC received nearly 3500 offers to supply pharmaceuticals, and these were provided by 54 companies. The number of offers is 1000 more than the previous year. This is the largest number of offers, and the largest number of companies ever involved in the PHARMAC tender.
