Open-House Model for Non-Exclusive Discount Agreements on Brinzolamid/Brimonidin

This contract opportunity involves establishing non-exclusive discount agreements for pharmaceuticals containing the active ingredients Brinzolamid and Brimonidin (official ATC code: S01EC24) under the German Social Code. The agreements will be made through an Open-House model, allowing all interested pharmaceutical companies to participate during the application period, provided they meet the participation requirements. Individual contract negotiations will not take place, and exclusivity in supply is not guaranteed. The quantity of pharmaceuticals to be purchased is unknown and will depend on demand, the number of insured individuals, prescribing behavior of doctors, and the dispensing practices of public pharmacies. Minimum purchase quantities are not guaranteed. Interested pharmaceutical companies can download the participation documents from the German Procurement Portal (DTVP) after applying for access. Once access is granted, they can view the documents, which include the discount agreement and specified discounts, under strict confidentiality. Any sharing of these documents with third parties requires prior written consent from the contracting authority. If a company decides not to participate, all documents must be securely destroyed. Submission requirements are detailed in the documents "Cover Letter" and "Explanation of Contract Terms" available in the project room. Communication, including the submission of participation documents, will occur electronically via the DTVP portal. The first deadline for submission of participation applications is October 7, 2025, with further deadlines available in the project room. If a deadline falls on a weekend or public holiday, the next working day will be the new deadline. Late submissions will be considered at the next submission deadline. The discount agreement will end by October 31, 2027, regardless of the contract date. The contracting authority reserves the right to terminate the Open-House process early, especially if exclusive discount agreements are concluded, in which case existing agreements will end according to contractual terms. Based on past experiences, exclusive discount agreements typically take effect 8 to 12 months after the publication of the relevant contract notice in the EU Official Journal.
