Structure of Presentation • Supply of OPV in 2010-11 • Summary of Rites Experience in 2010-11 • OPV Procurement Status for 2011-12 rounds • Recommendation of RITES
Introduction • M/s RITES Limited (A PSU under Ministry of Rlys) assisting the Department of Health & Family Welfare as Procurement Agent for procurement of OPVs funded by External Agencies like World Bank since May’ 2010 • In FY 2010-11 five indents were processed for four types of vaccines like bOPV, tOPV,mOPV1 and mOPV3. Shortfall quantities were procured by MoHFW through domestic budget. • In FY 2011-12 two indents are being processed for bOPV and tOPV.
Vaccine Supply Objectives To ensure a sustained and uninterrupted supply of quality vaccines Through • WHO Prequalification • Appropriate contracting
Response From Suppliers in 2010-11 Tenders with Externally Aided Component
Installed Capacity of OPV Suppliers participated in Rites Tender * Received their WHO prequalification on 15.06.2011
Summary of Rites Experience in 2010-11 • 50% of qualified suppliers participated in Bid • Mostly suppliers from India participated though it was a LIB except M/s Sanofi from France • No offer for full Bid quantity • Appreciable gap in offered price of different suppliers
Reasons for low response • Demand- Supply gap • Shortage of bulk in International market • Non participation of foreign suppliers due to (i) supply of OPV in short notice and (ii) shelf life of minimum 18 months on the date of arrival at port of entry in India
Recommendation of RITES • Indent should be sent at least 12 months in advance with respect to supply requirement so that tender can be finalised six months prior to requirements. This implies advanced planning and long term IEAG recommendations.
