TENDER RESULTS

The PHARMAC Board (or Chief Executive under delegated authority) has resolved to accept tenders for Sole Subsidised Supply and Hospital Supply Status for some of the products listed in the Invitation to Tender dated 21 December 2007. Some of the pharmaceuticals that will be delisted when the period of sole supply commences may be subject to existing listing contracts with PHARMAC. Suppliers of pharmaceuticals that are subject to such contracts should continue to supply their pharmaceuticals under those contracts until such time as the pharmaceuticals are delisted and PHARMAC will continue to subsidise their pharmaceuticals accordingly. Product Notification Forms Please note that for all changes (price change, pack size change, new listing etc) to be effective in the Pharmaceutical Schedule (including Section H) suppliers are required to notify PHARMAC and the Guild by 4pm 12th September 2008. More information and product notification forms can be downloaded from our website - www.pharmac.govt.nz/schedule.asp. Community pharmaceutical tenders – Section B of the Pharmaceutical Schedule 1. Tenders awarded to listed pharmaceuticals where no other brand is listed – subsidy changes (where applicable) on 1 October 2008 and Sole Subsidised Supply commences on 1 January 2009.
