Description

Notice is hereby given that Provincial Health Services Authority (the “Health Authority”), intends to directly award a Contract to the following supplier to provide Take Home Naloxone (THN), Facility Overdose Response Box (FORB) and Replacement Supplies for BC Centre for Disease Control for a term of up to one (1) year, from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024 at an estimated value of $5,100,000 CAD.

PHSA has chosen to directly award this contract at this time to ensure the continued supply of these essential products and services to the Health Authority with stable pricing, until PHSA completes an upcoming competitive process for future contracts.

Due to the expiration of the existing Provincial Health Services Authority agreement for these products and services, in order to avoid disruption to patient support, services and staff, we intend to extend the existing contract for a term of up to one (1) year, to provide time to evaluate contract options including preparing for and completing a competitive procurement process and further implementation of a future agreement to support the Health Authority.

MERX asks that you refer to bcbid.gov.bc.ca notice for these amendments. MERX stipulates that potential bidders may also be required to register with the buying authority as a bidder/plan taker.
