New Zealand’s PHARMAC
medicines agency has almost
finished awarding contracts from
its 2014/15 tendering process,
which involved the procurement
of 591 medicines or presentations
of pharmaceuticals used in the
hospital and community pharmacy.
PHARMAC director of operations
Sarah Fitt said it was the
organisation’s biggest ever tender,
and resulted in savings estimated
at NZ$38 million to the NZ budget,
as well as an additional $6.6 million
to district health board hospital
pharmaceutical budgets.
She said the tender reflects the
healthy competition in the New
Zealand pharmaceutical sector.
Now in its 19th year, the 2015/16
draft Invitation to Tender was also
released this week, with formal
bids to be sought from suppliers
