The Health Products Procurement Unit within the Fund sets the parameters for public procurement of health related products, keeps the national health products list, coordinates supply chain and price negotiation, and supports the Formulary (the Essential Medicine List, Essential Equipment List and approved health related products), reviewed at least annually (section 38(1) to (5)). Accredited providers and establishments have to buy in line with the Formulary, and Formulary-listed suppliers have to deliver straight to the contracted facility (section 38(6)), all subject to the public procurement laws giving effect to section 217 of the Constitution, the preferential procurement framework legislation and the B-BBEE Act (section 38(7)).
