Technical requirements: Sykehusinnkjøp HF, Divisjon legemidler (LIS) is collecting tenders for medicines that are used by the Health Trusts. LIS has previously announced and implemented an open tender competition for parenteral special pharmaceutical preparations (LIS 2001c). The competition includes active ingredients in accordance with the tender documentation, Annex 3 — the active ingredients list.
A new need has arisen after the contracts were signed for contracts for the delivery of Esomeprazole for infusion (ATC code A02BC05) as the selected supplier has announced that the delivery of their product cannot be maintained.

A new need has arisen after the contracts were signed for contracts for the delivery of Esomeprazole for infusion (ATC code A02BC05) as the selected supplier has announced that the delivery of their product cannot be maintained.
Due to this, LIS intends to enter into contracts between the regional health trusts (the Contracting Authorities) and Grürenthal Norway AS (the Supplier) as an additional contract to LIS 2001c, i.e., the scope and length of the contract must follow the mentioned procurement (including access to extensions and terminations), without a new competition being held for this ingredient. The health companies that are under the regional health trusts have an option to join the contracts.
LIS has explored the market situation and is of the opinion that it is not possible to hold a new competition or that a supplier other than Grünenthal Norway AS can deliver the product in the same contract period and that the situation that has occurred is not the contracting authority’s fault, nor something that the contracting authority could foresee. LIS therefore believes that there are grounds to make the procurement without a competition. Refer to the public procurement regulation § 21-5, cf. § 21-2, cf. § 13-4 letter b No 3 and letter cf. also § 13-3 letter e.
LIS requests that any objections to this intention are submitted before the expiry of the waiting period, set at 12 March 2020. If no objections are received, a contract will be signed after the waiting period has expired.
