Request for Information (RFI) - Pharmac Schedule Systems Redevelopment

The Pharmac Schedule is a list of medicines and medical devices that we manage on behalf of the Crown. This list changes each month because of procurement or funding decisions. The Schedule of medicines and devices includes infrastructure of rules, restrictions and funding mechanisms that give us the tools with which to manage that list.

To be able to implement new and innovative approaches to our management of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, we need to revise our Schedule management systems and processes so that they enable, rather than constrain, our ability to make those changes.

We are seeking to understand the market capability to support redevelopment of our Schedule management ICT systems, including technologies, approaches, resourcing, timing, and high-level costs.

All proposals must be submitted to PHARMAC via the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS) (www.gets.govt.nz(external link)) no later than 5pm NZT Friday 3 December 2021 - RFx ID 25041079.

If you have any questions about this RFI, please post these on the Government Electronic Tenders Service (www.gets.govt.nz(external link)). We will be accepting questions until 29 November 2021. Pharmac will also post any addenda through GETS.

We encourage interested organisations to register with GETS and subscribe to this RFI to be kept up to date.
