Registration of interest - Supply of Anaesthetic Gas Vaporisers

Overview Pharmac is running a simple competitive market process (registration of interest) for the supply of electronic and mechanical anaesthetic gas vaporisers used in Health New Zealand ("Health NZ") hospitals. About Gas vaporisers are specialised medical devices that add a precise and controlled concentration of volatile anaesthetic agents (sevoflurane, desflurane, and isoflurane) to the fresh gas flow of an anaesthesia breathing circuit. These devices are clinically essential in a range of healthcare delivery settings. Previously, gas vaporisers have been supplied as part of bundled arrangements linked to the anaesthetic agents. Purpose The purpose of this activity is to support a more consistent and transparent approach to the procurement of gas vaporisers, ensuring purchasing decisions are informed, comparable, and deliver public value across the public health system. This opportunity seeks to establish arrangements specific to vaporisers, enabling clearer visibility of costs and a more consistent, transparent approach to sourcing them as a component of the anaesthesia ecosystem. Scope The scope includes: Supply of mechanical gas vaporisers Supply of electronic gas vaporisers Pharmac is seeking a procurement process that secures solutions that are clinically fit-for-purpose, cost-effective, and commercially sustainable over time.
