Technical requirements: Additional contract with FrostPharma after tender contest LIS2001C Parenteral special pharmaceutical preparations for B01AE03 Novastan.
Sykehusinnkjøp HF, Divisjon legemidler (LIS) is collecting tenders for medicines that are used by the Health Trusts. LIS has previously announced and held an open tender contest for parenteral special pharmaceutical preparations (LIS 2001d Special Pharmaceutical Preparations — contests).
The contest included the active ingredients that were in accordance with the tender documentation, Annex 3 — the active ingredients list. After the contest, tenders were received for the products listed in the annexes to this notice, where the supplier must have a marketing licence. See the Medicines Act §8 and the Medicine Regulations §2-1, first and second sections, in which, as a main rule, a marketing licence is required before a medicine can be sold. There were no other tenderers in this contest for the ATC code in question.
Due to this, LIS intends to enter into contracts between the regional health trusts (the Contracting Authorities) and FrostPharma (the Supplier) as an additional contract to LIS 2001c, i.e. the scope and length of the contract will follow the mentioned procurement (including access to extensions and notice), without a new competition being held for this ingredient.
LIS has explored the market situation and is of the opinion that it is not possible to hold a new contest, or that a supplier other than FrostPharma can deliver the product in the current 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. Cf. the Public Procurement Regulations §13-4, letter b, No 3. LIS requests that those who have objections to this submit feedback before the waiting period expires on 16.12.2019. If no objections are received, a contract will be signed after the waiting period has expired.
