Overview

RE-ISSUE OF INVITATION FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR LISTING AGREEMENTS FOR THE SUPPLY OF HAND HYGIENE PRODUCTS TO DHB HOSPITALS (“INVITATION”)

On 16 June 2016 PHARMAC issued the Invitation (as defined above) on GETS. The Invitation stated that compliance with the EN1500 standard was a mandatory requirement for hand hygiene products.

Since issuing the Invitation, PHARMAC has received advice that although Hand Hygiene New Zealand recommends that alcohol based hand rubs should meet the EN1500 testing standard for bactericidal effect; this is not a mandatory requirement for alcohol based hand rub products used in DHBs.

As a result, PHARMAC is re-issuing the Invitation, with the removal of this mandatory requirement.

PHARMAC invites Expressions of Interests (“EOIs”) for the supply of hand hygiene products (“Products”) to District Health Board hospitals (“DHBs”) from parties who are able to supply or procure the supply of the Products (“Submitter(s)”).

Submitters who have submitted EOIs to the original Invitation (dated 16 June 2016) are not required to resubmit their EOIs.

This Invitation is stage one of a two stage procurement process. A Submitter who is notified by PHARMAC that its EOI has been accepted is eligible to submit a proposal in response to any Request for Proposal (“RFP”) which is issued by PHARMAC for the Products.

This Invitation for EOIs incorporates the following schedules:

· Schedule 1 sets out the background to the Invitation and a description of EOIs sought;
· Schedule 2 describes the process that PHARMAC expects to follow in relation to the Invitation;
· Schedule 3 specifies the information a Submitter needs to include with its EOI; and
· Schedule 4 specifies the Products which are in scope and out of scope for the purposes of this Invitation.

If you wish to submit an EOI in response to the Invitation, please submit it to the Government Electronic Tenders Service (“GETS”) (www.gets.govt.nz) no later than 4.00 p.m. on 14 October 2016.

If you have any questions about this Invitation, please send an email to devices@pharmac.govt.nz.
