The Shaanxi Public Resources Trading Center has announced the formation of a provincial alliance for volume-based procurement (VBP), with Shaanxi taking the lead. The alliance includes participants from Heilongjiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Tibet, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang, along with the Xinjiang Construction Corps.
The alliance’s tender will encompass a total of 19 products, including ligustrazine, heparin, and nutritional amino acids. Each tender spot will allow bids from up to 15 companies, with a maximum of 10 winners per spot. Winning manufacturers will be determined based on a comprehensive evaluation of economic and commercial standards, with the highest-scoring and lowest-priced bids receiving 100% of the agreed purchase quantity. The remaining winners will secure 80% of the quantity. Medical institutions will retain a degree of autonomy in their procurement choices, with a procurement cycle set for two years.- Flcube.com
