On October 31, the Sanming Purchasing Alliance (National) Traditional Chinese Medicine (Materials) Special Area (Shandong Internet Chinese Materia Medica Trading Center) publicly solicited comments on the "Sanming Procurement Alliance Inter-provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine (Materials) Procurement Alliance Chinese Medicine Pieces Joint Procurement Document" (hereinafter referred to as the "Document"), and the announcement time is until November 4, 2022
.

Market analysts pointed out that the release of the "Document" marks a new stage in the joint procurement of Chinese medicine pieces, and the industry will form a new pattern jointly promoted by the government and the market, and the "quality, upgrading and stable supply" model will drive the overall upgrading
of the Chinese medicine pieces industry.

"High quality and good price" has become the focus of competition

Enterprises meet the big exam

The trend of more and more varieties of inter-provincial alliances has become obvious, and following the national volume procurement, the provincial and local level volume procurement is now also blooming at many points across the country
.
As a breakthrough point to further deepen the reform of the medical and health system, the procurement of drugs with quantity is highly expected by the industry, and the top-level design intention of promoting the transformation and upgrading of the industry and eliminating backward production capacity is clearly visible
.

The scope of centralized procurement has gradually expanded from the initial chemical medicine to Chinese proprietary medicine, biological medicine, medical equipment consumables, etc.
, and this time it is directly aimed at Chinese medicine pieces
.
The industry generally believes that product quality will undoubtedly become the core
of competition for Chinese herbal medicine enterprises to compete for centralized procurement.

The "Document" puts forward the central idea of "quality assurance, upgrading and stable supply", and clarifies that the purpose is not to simply reduce prices, so as to achieve the high-quality development
of "high quality and high price" of traditional Chinese medicine.
In view of the upcoming joint procurement of Chinese medicine pieces, the implementation standards, trait description, product specification number, specification level, etc.
, the procurement plan of the "Document" especially puts forward detailed requirements
for the quality control, traceability system, planting base, road real estate area, supply capacity, etc.
of the supplier enterprises.

Specifically, the procurement alliance composed of 15 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) will aim at the field of traditional Chinese medicine pieces, covering a total of 42 specifications of 21 varieties, including astragalus, codonopsis tablets, honeysuckle, angelica, bran fried baishu, safflower, scalding leech, wheat dong, huanglian tablets, prince ginseng, white peony, licorice tablets, earth dragon, Chuanxiong, salvia, huangcen tablets, yam, dandelion, peony bark, bellflower
.

In view of the large difference in the quality of Chinese medicine pieces, high price fluctuations, unstable supply, and irregular production and circulation markets, the relevant rules
have been clarified in this joint procurement of Chinese medicine pieces.
For example, in response to the problem of different quality levels of traditional Chinese medicine pieces for a long time and too many quality levels of the same variety, this joint procurement divided each variety into two specifications
: selection and unified goods.
For example, astragalus, the maximum limit price of unified goods is 81 yuan per kilogram, and the maximum limit price of selected goods is 108 yuan per kilogram, with a difference of 27 yuan
per kilogram.

In the specific bidding process, the "Document" stipulates that the effective declaration enterprise shall be divided into review groups for unified goods and selection, and each product specification is a review group
.
In the same review team, if there are less than 3 valid reporting enterprises, the procurement
of this product regulation will be canceled.
The procurement of the selected drugs by the Chinese Medicine Pieces Alliance needs to be determined
through two links: comprehensive review and bidding and quotation.

The comprehensive review includes considering whether it has its own Chinese herbal medicine planting base, whether it has signed a supply agreement with the planting base, whether it has a traceability system for the whole process of drinking piece production, medicinal material traceability, and piece sales, the demand of medical institutions, the gap with the lowest quotation with the review team, quality control, supply security, authentic medicinal materials, GAP base and other factors
.

Subsequently, according to the order of the valid declaration enterprises, the list of
enterprises shortlisted in the bidding and quotation link is determined.
The maximum number of shortlisted enterprises is determined according to the number of valid declaration enterprises of the same review team, and when the number of eligible enterprises is 6 or more, the probability of enterprises being shortlisted is only 30%, and the maximum is 50
.

The quotation process mainly revolves
around all the shortlisted products of each review team.
The second round of quotations must not be higher than the highest valid declaration price and its first round quotations, and if they exceed them, they will be regarded as invalid quotations and will be disqualified
.
The determination of the drug to be selected only needs to meet one of the following two conditions:

In addition, the application of this joint procurement enterprise will be carried out online, all qualification documents must be submitted online, and the reporting enterprise must log in to the trading platform (official website of Shandong Internet Traditional Chinese Medicine (Materials) Trading Center) within the specified time to register, handle CA, register, and upload qualification materials
.
The announcement of the shortlisted results and the announcement of the winning results are also announced through the trading platform
.
After the enterprise is shortlisted for the bidding qualification, it must also submit product samples within the specified time and maintain the corresponding drug information, inspection reports and other materials in the trading platform, and the experts will conduct quality level compliance inspection
.

At present, many places have successively adopted new actions for the collection and procurement of Chinese medicine pieces, "high quality and high price" is the main theme of joint advocacy, and standardization and quality improvement will become the theme of
Chinese medicine enterprises for a long time in the future.
With the issuance of this document, the reshuffle of the Chinese herbal medicine industry will be accelerated
.

Digital empowerment

Promote the benefits of reform for the public

In the eyes of the industry, the wide application of digitalization is undoubtedly an important support for
the centralized procurement of traditional Chinese medicine pieces.
In July 2020, the digital trading platform "Shandong Internet Chinese Materia Medica Trading Platform" established by Jinan Traditional Chinese Medicine Industry Base and Shandong Internet Medical Insurance Big Health Service Platform was officially unveiled
.

Through the establishment of a digital service system for the trading of Chinese medicinal materials, a quality traceability system based on blockchain technology and an internationally mutually recognized inspection and testing system, the platform promotes the trading of Chinese medicinal materials from offline to online, providing a solid foundation
for the collective procurement of Chinese herbal medicine pieces.

In addition, the platform also provides strong support for the centralized procurement and economic and trade cooperation of Chinese medicinal materials in the alliance provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and will also carry out economic and trade business for domestic and international markets, strive to make it an international Internet trading center for Chinese medicinal materials, and create a large portal for interconnection in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, a large platform
for pioneering and piloting.

At the same time, as a market-oriented trading platform, the platform will also give full play to the role of the market in allocating resources, adhere to the combination of ordinary service and disaster emergency, and further improve the emergency reserve guarantee capacity of Chinese herbal medicines, so as to be transferred, supplied and used at critical times
.

In December 2021, with the support and guidance of the National Medical Insurance Bureau, the Inter-provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine (Materials) Procurement Alliance led by Shandong Province joined the Sanming Procurement Alliance (Nationwide), and merged with the Sanming Purchasing Alliance (National) Traditional Chinese Medicine (Materials) Branch to form the Sanming Procurement Alliance (National) Inter-provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine (Materials) Procurement Alliance, which was supported
by the Sanming Purchasing Alliance (National) Traditional Chinese Medicine (Materials) Zone (Shandong Internet Chinese Materia Medica Trading Center).

Using digital means, Sanming Purchasing Alliance (Nationwide) aims to achieve cross-regional joint procurement, and has now achieved "total price negotiation" and cross-regional data interconnection
.
The total quantity bargaining method is to support price linkage on the Sanming Procurement Alliance (National) platform, and realize the exchange of quantity for price by aggregating the purchase orders of the alliance cities, improve the bargaining power, and further reduce the procurement cost
of drugs and medical consumables.

The continuous promotion of the Sanming Procurement Alliance platform has not only knocked down the inflated prices of pharmaceutical consumables and standardized the procurement and use of pharmaceutical consumables, but also promoted the "cage for bird" by blocking waste, vacating space and adjusting the structure, and promoted the comprehensive reform of "three-medical linkage" of medicine, medical insurance and medical treatment in the member regions of the alliance
.

The industry generally believes that the regional price system of Chinese herbal medicines is quite different, the lack of normalized quality monitoring and the whole chain quality traceability system and other persistent diseases have long hindered the upgrading and development
of China's traditional Chinese medicine industry.
With the advantages of the digital trading platform, with the orderly development of centralized procurement of traditional Chinese medicines, unreasonable prices and moisture are forced to squeeze out, and patients will be able to use high-quality and low-cost assured Chinese herbal medicines
