Germany – Pharmaceutical products – Abschluss nicht exkl. Arzneimittel-Rabattvereinb. nach § 130a Abs. 8 SGB V im Wege eines Open-House-Modells zum Wirkstoff Pegfilgrastim (ATC-Code nach WHO: L03AA13)

The subject of this publication is the conclusion of non-exclusive discount agreements pursuant to § 130a para. 8 SGB V for medicines with the active substance Pegfilgrastim (ATC code according to WHO: L03AA13). The contract is concluded within the framework of an Open-House model, i.e. a contract conclusion is open to all interested pharmaceutical companies within the participation period, provided they meet and accept the participation requirements. This means that individual contract negotiations are not conducted and (supply) exclusivity is not given. It is pointed out that the quantity to be procured is unknown, as it depends on the demand and the development of the number of insured persons, on the prescribing behaviour of doctors and on the dispensing and stocking behaviour of public pharmacies. Minimum procurement quantities are therefore not guaranteed. Interested pharmaceutical companies can download the participation documents from the project room of the German Tender Portal (DTVP). To do this, an application for access to the project room is first required. After activation by the contracting authority, the participation documents can then be accessed. Absolute confidentiality must be maintained regarding the content of the participation documents - in particular regarding the content of the discount agreement and the discounts mentioned therein. Any full or partial disclosure or provision of contents of the participation documents to or for third parties requires the prior written consent of the contracting authority. If participation is waived, all documents must be destroyed immediately in accordance with data protection regulations. The documents to be submitted are set out in the documents "Cover Letter" and "Explanations of the Contract Terms" stored in the project room. Communication, including the transmission of the participation documents, is carried out electronically via the tender portal DTVP; details can be found in the aforementioned documents. Any contrary information in the contract notice is due to technical reasons and does not constitute a binding commitment. Participation applications can be submitted for the first time by 2 April 2026. All further submission deadlines can be found in the attachment "Submission Deadlines" stored in the project room. If the deadline for submission falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday nationwide, the next working day shall take the place of such a day. In the event of late receipt, the submitted participation applications will be taken into account for the next submission deadline. The discount agreement ends, regardless of the date of the contract conclusion, at the latest on 31 March 2028. The contracting authority reserves the right to terminate the Open-House procedure prematurely, in particular in the event of the conclusion of exclusive discount agreements; in this case, the already concluded discount agreements end in accordance with the contractual provisions. According to the contracting authority's experience, exclusive discount agreements usually come into force 8 to 12 months after the publication of the corresponding contract notice in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union.
