Final correction to 2022/23 Invitation to Tender (8 December 2022)

Corrections have been made to tender for both the community and hospital market on the In-Tend portal for the following line item included in the 2022/23 ITT released on 31 October 2022:

  • Allopurinol (febuxostat funded without restrictions) – 300 mg

Correction to 2022/23 Invitation to Tender (1 December 2022)

The list of Products to be Tendered in Schedule Two of the 2022/23 ITT released on 31 October 2022 incorrectly refers to the patent status of Sacubitril with valsartan tablets. This has been corrected in schedule two of the Invitation to Tender to indicate to suppliers that these line items are currently under patent. No other changes have been made to the 2022/23 ITT.

Error on In-tend portal (1 December 2022)

Currently there is a discrepancy between the contract and the portal regarding the price change clauses. The In-Tend portal gives the option to select the price change clauses from the 2021/22 ITT. We are working with the In-tend portal to fix this error. Pharmac asks suppliers to note that Schedules 5 and 6 Clause 3.1 (b)(i) and Clause 3.1 (b)(ii) from the 2021/22 ITT correspond to Schedule 4 clause 2.3 (c)(i) and clause 2.3 (c)(ii) respectively in the 2022/23 ITT.
