Supplier feedback is sought on potential commercial arrangements, in particular PHARMAC is seeking to gauge potential Suppliers’ views, on the use of bundling, rebates, confidential pricing and risk sharing arrangements.

This RFI incorporates the following schedules:

- Schedule 1 sets out the scope of sexual health products which PHARMAC is considering including in an upcoming RFP for sexual health products.

- Schedule 2 sets out the current Pharmaceutical Schedule listing for sexual health products and provides estimated usage volumes.

- Schedule 3 sets out the specific questions PHARMAC is requesting responses to that will assist with the development of commercial options for the supply of the required sexual health products.

All proposals must be submitted to PHARMAC via the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS) (www.gets.govt.nz) no later than 5.00 p.m. on 23 April 2018.
