ACQUISITION OF MEDICINE THROUGH LOCAL PURCHASE DUE TO SOLE SUPPLIER OF THE GOOD WHICH DOES NOT ADMIT SUBSTITUTION

This tender concerns the acquisition of a specific medicine through a local purchase process, justified by the 'sole supplier' clause, indicating that the required pharmaceutical product is unique and does not have any acceptable substitutes. The contracting entity is SEGURO SOCIAL DE SALUD (EsSalud), a prominent social health insurance institution in Peru. The procurement is specifically designated for the LIMA department, suggesting the medicine will be supplied to facilities or beneficiaries within this region. The procurement process is identified as EXO-PROC-3-2015-ESSALUD/RAS, and the method of contracting is 'Exoneración' (Exemption). This implies that the standard competitive bidding procedures are being waived due to the unique circumstances of the supply, specifically the lack of alternative suppliers for this particular medicine. EsSalud is seeking to secure a supply of this essential medication efficiently, leveraging the exemption to address a situation where a competitive process would not be feasible or appropriate. The tender highlights the importance of ensuring the availability of specific, non-substitutable medical supplies within the Peruvian healthcare system, managed by EsSalud, and the procedural mechanisms in place to address such specialized procurement needs.
