Pool Procurement of Primary Healthcare Commodities
Drug Management Agencies and prequalified suppliers plan, forecast, allocate and track essential medicines in a single system from annual demand forecasts through supplier prequalification and transparent state-level allocation to issued orders, delivery and payment.
Figures below are national aggregates drawn from the portal's own procurement records, refreshed continuously across both the pooled and targeted procurement tracks.

Price intelligence
Supplier quotes ranked and compared per commodity, with price bands and snapshots retained for every round.
Cost savings analysis
Pooled procurement pricing measured against individual state purchasing, so the benefit of the framework is quantified.

From annual forecast to delivered medicines
Four standard operating procedures, executed end to end in the portal.
1 · Forecast demand
Agencies submit annual consumption and demand data. The portal consolidates every submission into one national procurement plan.
2 · Prequalify suppliers
Suppliers are assessed against a scoring matrix on a 31-day timeline covering regulatory, technical and financial criteria.
3 · Prioritise commodities
The catalogue is prioritised in line with the national essential medicines list before any round opens.
4 · Procure & allocate
Quotes are analysed and ranked, quantities allocated to states by protocol tier, then orders issued and tracked through delivery and payment.
