锚点价、复活机制首现耗材国采：防止“低价抢标”，确保临床供应

Core Viewpoint - The sixth batch of high-value medical consumables national procurement is shifting towards a focus on quality and stability rather than just price competition, as indicated by the draft proposal that emphasizes "stabilizing clinical use, ensuring quality, preventing collusion, and countering internal competition" [1][10]. Group 1: Procurement Framework - The draft proposal highlights the selection of consumables that are "clinically essential," particularly focusing on drug-coated balloon catheters and urological intervention products, which cover over 90% of mainstream clinical usage [3]. - The proposal introduces a "price ceiling" for bids, with drug-coated balloon catheters' maximum bid based on previous provincial procurement prices, averaging around 6,300 yuan in Jiangsu and 6,000 yuan in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region [4]. - A "price anchor" mechanism is established to prevent low-price bidding, requiring companies to justify costs if their bids fall below a certain threshold, addressing previous issues of unsustainable low pricing [5]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The adjustments in procurement rules are seen as a means to facilitate industry restructuring rather than merely a price war, with a shift from price competition to value competition [7]. - The domestic market for drug-coated balloon catheters is expected to strengthen, with local brands increasing their market share from 20% to over 70% due to competitive pricing and improved technology [7][8]. - The proposal allows for a 20% market reserve to support innovative products, ensuring that the procurement process does not hinder innovation while maintaining quality standards [10]. Group 3: Quality Control Measures - Stringent quality control measures are included, with all selected companies subject to on-site inspections, and low-priced products will be prioritized for quality checks [9]. - Companies found to have quality issues or supply violations will face disqualification from future procurement opportunities for 1 to 3 years, reinforcing the importance of maintaining product standards [9].
