Request for Proposal Recognizing the budget pressures of our funders, we are in the process of negotiating new contracts for plasma-derived products for the next 5 years The need for security of supply and for competitive pricing are key considerations in the RFP NAC support in this process is critical and valued We are willing to make supplier changes in order to take advantage of savings, and need physicians and stakeholders to support our decisions regarding brand selection
9
Demand We need to put plans in place to ensure security of supply and provide the potential for increased supply should demand increase due to new indications Partnership with suppliers who can give us capacity and priority Develop plans for continued increase of CBS supplied plasma New indications could lead us to discussions about how to provide Ig to hospitals going forward—will be a focus of future strategy discussions as we go through next year
10
Utilization Even without a major change in indications, PPP utilization is increasing year over year Usage growth is threatening the savings being realized through contract negotiations with suppliers. CBS is a willing partner in working with physicians and provincial blood coordinating programs to help find measures to effectively control or manage utilization.
