The procurement of low-value consumables is gradually spreading.

The
latest document issued by the Medical Insurance Bureau, low-value consumables welcomes the provincial bargain.

On March 2, the Hebei Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau released two latest "About "Notice on the centralized procurement of medical consumables for disposable infusion sets and intravenous indwelling needles" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice")
.
In the "Notice", the Hebei Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau stated that it will use public medical institutions and military medical institutions in Hebei Province as the main body of medical consumables procurement.
Through the Hebei Provincial Medical Equipment Centralized Procurement Platform, the two types of disposable infusion sets and intravenous indwelling needles will be low.
Value consumables are purchased in quantity, and 12 months is a purchasing cycle
.
At the same time, medical insurance designated social medical institutions can participate voluntarily
.
It is worth noting that in the past, the purchase of low-value consumables was carried out more frequently at the municipal level.
This time, the purchase of low-value consumables in Hebei Province is also one of the few provincial-level low-value consumables at this stage.
The exploration of exchange prices
.

　　A 50 % discount can be shortlisted.
The bottom price of more than 58.
8856 million consumables is
shown in the documents.
The total purchase amount of disposable infusion sets and intravenous indwelling needles this time is 58885683
.
Among them, the agreed purchase volume for disposable infusion sets is 46,189,391, and the agreed purchase volume for intravenous indwelling needles is 12,696,292
.
Disposable infusion sets are divided into 4 bidding groups according to their materials, and intravenous infusion needles are divided into 6 bidding groups according to whether they have connectors
.
In terms of quotation, Hebei Province requires that the quotation of the declared product must not be higher than 50% of the minimum purchase price (non-centralized volume purchase price) of the product in the national medical institutions in 2020, and not higher than the national prefecture-level The lowest selected price for centralized procurement (purchasing with volume) above
.
Finally, the selected companies will be determined according to the declared price from low to high, The purchase volume will also be distributed according to the ranking
.
In other words, the quotation of the campaign company must be less than 50% of the online price of the product in 2020, and lower than the lowest price that has been generated for mass purchase.
After the two requirements are superimposed, it is undoubtedly equivalent to requiring the company to offer Participate at a discount"
.
In fact, as early as the beginning of December 2020, Shaanxi Province also issued a document stating that the province will purchase indwelling needles and foam dressings for two types of low-value consumables.
The agreed purchase amount is for all public hospitals and the military in the province.
70% of the annual procurement volume of medical institutions
.
In addition, the purchase of low-value consumables such as disposable infusion devices, disposable catheters, and indwelling needles has been carried out many times nationwide, and the highest drop has reached 94.
34%
.
At the end of October 2020, Henan Province completed the purchase of two types of medical consumables: intraocular lenses and indwelling needles.
The final result showed that the average drop of 8 groups of indwelling needles was 76.
6%, and the highest drop was 94.
34%
.
Earlier in mid-August 2020, public medical institutions in Qinghai Province also completed the centralized procurement of indwelling needles and infusion sets.
After the negotiation, the highest drop of indwelling needles was 88.
3%, the lowest drop was 68.
3%, and the average drop was 78.
9%.
; The highest drop of infusion set was 89.
6%, the lowest drop was 12.
7%, and the average drop was 61.
6%
.
Compared with the previous municipal-level procurement of low-value consumables with volume, the frequency and intensity of the provincial-level general consumption for volume conversion has been constantly increasing
.
Among the bid-winning machinery companies, most of them are dominated by giant machinery companies such as BD, Braun, and Camel
.
It can be said that with the intensive landing of low-value consumables and belts, the elimination rate of the general consumption market is also rising sharply
.
Under the squeeze of increasingly stringent election rules, market access for heavily homogenized commodities is becoming more and more stringent
.

　　After the comprehensive "two-invoice system", purchases with quantities are gradually lower in value
As early as the end of October before this, the Hebei Provincial Medical Insurance Bureau issued a document stating that the province should implement a "two-invoice system" to reduce the circulation of medical consumables
.
It also clearly pointed out that the number of distribution companies for medical consumables production enterprises in the same coordination area does not exceed 15, and that there are no more than 10 distribution companies for each online consumable product in the same coordination area
.
Under the dual requirements of the "two-invoice system" and volume procurement, the moisture squeeze in the low-value consumables market has reached a very strict level
.
Since 2020, under the overall price reduction environment, the procurement of high-value consumables has been relatively mature.
Provincial alliances and cross-regional multi-provincial alliances have integrated intraocular lenses, coronary balloons, coronary stents, etc.
A variety of high-value consumables are used as high-frequency pilot varieties for price squeeze
.
With the continuous reshuffling of the medical consumables market, low-value consumables have gradually become the focus of the next step of remediation in various regions
.
Although the value of a single item of low-value consumables is not high, the utilization rate in hospitals at all levels has remained high
.
Taking indwelling needles as an example, market data shows that the market size of indwelling needles in China is expected to reach 476 million in 2024
.
In the low-value consumables market, the biggest problem at present is the serious homogeneity of the market
.
The volume purchases in various regions are undoubtedly forcing the low-value consumables to reshape the market .
For now, after the vigorous price cut on medical consumables, not only high-value consumables are gradually becoming "low-value", the future "regionalization" of low-value consumables seems to be on the way.
