Tendering and Bids Services
Pharmaceutical tenders are essential for large-scale procurement of healthcare products
Tenders are a crucial process in the pharmaceutical industry. They represent the mechanism through which governments, health authorities and healthcare organizations procure specific pharmaceutical products in the context of public health programs, social security systems and other initiatives that require large-scale purchasing. Such products may include drugs, vaccines, medical devices or other health-related items.
Although with significant differences between regions and sometimes between countries within the same region — as is the case in Europe — there is a growing trend in global pharmaceutical procurement, the need to contain spending to safeguard health services. This brings with it a number of challenges for companies, but also numerous opportunities. However, in order to take advantage of them, it is necessary to have the right tools o .To leverage these opportunities, having the right tools is essential.
How does a pharmaceutical tender work?
A pharmaceutical tender is broadly similar to a private auction. In it, a pharmaceutical laboratory has the opportunity to sell the supply of a product at a fixed price for a fixed period of time, which ensures it an advantageous position in the sector. In turn, bidders in such an auction can obtain the lowest possible purchase price for high-quality products. They can ensure the reliability of suppliers, maintain transparency in the process, minimize the opportunity of unlawful influences on purchasing decisions and achieve these objectives in the shortest possible time.
Naturally, laboratories compete with each other to win these contracts, in costly and convoluted processes subject to complex requirements, rapidly changing market conditions or extreme logistical management.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it is common practice to outsource bidding processes to specialized companies. These companies not only generate reports, alerts and notifications, but can also prepare all the necessary documentation to respond effectively to each tender. However, such a practice does not offer any improvement in the chances of success or any differentiation to companies that have to navigate between tenders to sell their products.
