Key procurement sectors
China procurement landscape
China's volume-based procurement program has fundamentally reshaped the economics of pharmaceutical and medical-device markets in the country since its national rollout. By pooling purchase volumes from thousands of public hospitals into single national tenders, the NHSA achieves dramatic price reductions — in some rounds cutting prices by up to 90% from pre-tender levels — for both generic pharmaceuticals and high-value devices such as coronary stents and orthopedic implants. The program now spans hundreds of drug molecules, covering a broad range of therapeutic areas, as well as medical consumables and diagnostics. Each VBP round specifies a defined volume allocation, a price ceiling, and quality standards, with winning suppliers awarded guaranteed purchase commitments in exchange for meeting the agreed price. The scheme covers procurement types including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, consumables, and diagnostics. Tender documentation is published in Chinese, and participation requires compliance with China's drug-registration and device-registration requirements.
Bidding on China tenders.
Participation requires that products hold valid National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) registration and meet the quality consistency evaluation (BE study) standards specified for each molecule or device category. Suppliers must register through provincial healthcare security platforms designated for each VBP round.
