PHARMAC has decided to not accept any proposal in response to, and to terminate the process for, the “Request for Proposals – Supply of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)” dated 9 November 2016 (RFP).
The terminology used in the RFP in relation to the request for “sample” packs created clear misunderstanding, with one or more suppliers believing that a level of tracking and follow-up would be required by the supplier for product sampling.
This was not the intention and PHARMAC’s requirement for a small pack size was to allow patients to trial the different types and flavours (where relevant) of NRT treatments without needing to take home a bulk pack of each.
PHARMAC intends to re-issue another RFP describing the requirements for a small pack size more clearly. This may lead to a listing proposal which would be subject to consultation and Board approval.
See www.pharmac.govt.nz/news/ for further details.
