Large ARV Buyers and Sellers Forum 2016
Consolidated Demand Outlook
29 November, 2016
Geneva, Switzerland
Republic of South Africa
The Global Fund, PEPFAR and Government of South Africa will work
together to improve the consolidated demand outlook
1
What we will do
Coordinated approach and messages
Synergistic strategies
Direct engagement with suppliers & supplier
visits (sometimes)
Providing improved demand visibility
Sharing of synthesized market intelligence and
general supplier performance
Sharing information (without providing
confidential / sensitive information)
Align on key supplier performance metrics
Long-term agreements with manufacturers
Selection of suppliers and demand
allocation
Execution of purchase orders
We will not manage actual supplier
performance jointly
Managing overall supplier performance
(Price, lead-time, delivery etc.)
What we will not do together
Buyers and Sellers Forum 2016 follows clear ground rules!
2
We would like to reiterate our strong commitment to transparent, fair and competitive procurement processes. For example,
according to the Global Fund’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers, corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, anti-competitive or coercive
practices are not tolerated, and are subject to sanctions, which could include debarment from eligibility as a Global Fund supplier.
Participants to the meeting must not:
discuss with other participants your own or your competitors prices, price changes, price differentials, discounts, margins, or
any terms of sale that might affect prices
discuss individual company figures on costs, capacity, compensation, business opportunities, products or services, or sales,
except for industry data such as interest rates that are made widely available to the industry by data services.
discuss what individual companies plan to do in particular geographic or product markets or with particular customers or
suppliers, including (a) customer or supplier policies, (b) the terms on which specific types of products may be distributed by
a firm, (c) the elimination, restriction, or limitation of the quantity or quality of any product or service to be sold, or (d) the
division or limitation of sales to particular territories, customers, or classes of customers.
discuss specific future plans of your company or other companies concerning the design, production, distribution, pricing
terms or marketing of particular products.
discuss matters relating to actual or potential individual suppliers or customers that might have the effect of excluding them
from any market or of influencing the business conduct of other companies toward such suppliers or customers.
disclose to others any other competitively sensitive or confidential information.
If you become aware of possible misconduct, this should be reported to the Office of the Inspector General. The Office of the
Inspector General treats all reports carefully and protects the identity of all whistle-blowers.

• Increase the transparency of ARV orders for a more stable, visible and
predictable demand
• Establish inclusive buyer/seller forum with current and potential
suppliers
• annual in person buyer seller forums and periodic webcast
• share forward visibility for 12-18 months: 1st/ 2nd line; transitions
• discuss supply and demand opportunities and challenges
• Enable annual or longer orders for larger countries and high volume
products
• Coordinate procurement and timing of low volume products through
the multiagency coordinated procurement platform (APWG)
• Intensify efforts to enhance retention including encourage
programmes to move to multi-month dispensing and work with
companies to develop compliance messages on labels
• Work to harmonize and improve packaging and labelling
specifications (e.g., fewer variants, lower volume packs)
• Evolve procurement and sourcing strategies based on the situation
needs and implementation experience
Building on the June 2014 ARV Supplier Conference
There are issues in how we manage demand, and we are currently
working to review our processes

Original demand outlook can appear steady… …while actual orders can fluctuate quarter to quarter
Actual orders, million packs, 2015
• Originally project quarterly demand volumes are
often relatively smooth across quarters
• Shelf life of 85% at pick-up leaves only 3.6
months to distribute the goods (out of e.g. 24
months) – limiting the flexibility to reallocate
between the quarters
Actual orders fluctuate substantially due to
• Anticipated stock-outs – leading countries to requests for
financing and products from several sources at the same time
• Uncertainty in government financing – driving unexpected
shifts in partners’ demand

There are several factors that need to be accounted for when
preparing a consolidated forecast
17
Different planning and procurement cycles across donors/buyers
PEPFAR: one-year
Global Fund: (up to) three-years
South Africa: three-years
Different budget cycles
Support for country transitioning to Test/START
Potential shifting in orders to accommodate Test/START
Introduction and/or implementation of multi-month prescribing (MMP)
Many national programs implementing MMP through 2018
Likely transition to Dolutegravir (DTG)
A transition from TLE to TLD likely within the next 24 months
Consolidated demand outlook is useful beyond the pure
forecast numbers
18
Besides improved visibility for suppliers, consolidated demand outlook helps to
Maintain dialogue between stakeholders – and to better understand key demand drivers at the global and country level
Identify and correct outliers early on and smoothen demand towards manufacturers
Work towards improving supply chain to and in the country
Going forward, a consolidated data file with demand per buyer per product per quarter will be made available on a quarterly basis for
detailed review and feedback

PEPFAR Supply Chain Update:
New Thinking to Meet Demand, Improving
Coordination, and Managing Change
John Crowley
USAID/GH/OHA/SCH
Overview
• PEPFAR Approach to Planning and Ordering
– New thinking is needed to meet demand
• Next Evolution in Coordination
– Efforts in collaboration and coordination are maturing
• Methodology for Projecting Demand
– National quantification forums determine demand
• Managing Procurements
– PSM manages the procurement process
• Managing Change
– Critical Procurement Considerations
PEPFAR APPROACH
Planning Framework to Meet Demand
Maintain “Healthy Market”
Mitigate Supply Risk
• Allocate orders across multiple suppliers
• “Best Value” contract award strategy
• Reward performance
• Country /product registration management
Supplier Relationship Management
• Longer lead time forecasting
• Order volume allocation
Increase Predictability
• Annual volume commitments for majority of
TLE
• Coordinated procurement for small volume
products
Assure Product Availability• Annual quantification
• Annual supply & ordering plans
• Monitor on time & in full delivery by vendors
• Optimize RDC and VMI stock levels
Support New Products• ARV prioritization
• Innovation criteria in tender evaluations
• Project OPTIMIZE
• Improving the management of demand and improving partnerships with vendors is the next evolution to this effort
• Given the magnitude of ARV demand and the new treatment guidelines, a more strategically aligned and coordinated ordering processfor ARVs is essential to PEPFAR’s success
– Provide for a more stable and predictable global generic ARV market
– Create greater visibility into the timing and quantity of ARV orders
– Ensure rational delivery schedule for country programs
• Ten target counties: account for 60% and 90% of the GF and PEPFAR’s (respectively) total ARV demand for lower-middle income countries
• Five products: combination of first/second line, and pediatric ARVs

Cote d’Ivoire $ 9,126,215 $ 27,633,044
Total Spend: $ 814,715,368 $ $535,148,126
NEXT EVOLUTION
Where is the Majority of ARV Spend?
• Expanding existing efforts and establishing a joint-forecasting and supply planning
process using a coordinated schedule
– Five products: combination of first/second line, and pediatric ARVs
– Ten target countries: accounting for 60% and 90% of the GF and
PEPFAR’s (respectively) total ARV demand for lower-middle income
countries
• Expanded coordination effort is not a significant shift
– Sharing actual procurement scheduling and ordering data between Global
Fund and PEPFAR for the next 12-18 months
– Ensures a rational delivery schedule for country programs and greater
predictability for manufacturers
• Global Fund and USAID/SCH will collect, analyze and share ARV orders for the
five products in the ten target countries
NEXT EVOLUTION
Coordinated Schedule for ARV Procurement
• Procurement data collected from annual country-level national quantification
exercises and supply plans (adjusted quarterly)
– PEPFAR supply chain technical staff and implementing partners are active
participates in national quantification forums
– PEPFAR procurement data reflects the agreed upon USG contributions to
the national response supply plan based on annual country operational plans
• USAID’s GHSC-PSM collected the data from across the ten target countries and
synthesized for use
• Represents the first time procurement data has been collected globally, merged
with Global Fund and South Africa data, and shared with vendors
– Fair to assume there may be inconsistencies
– This is a first step in regular sharing of data (adjusted quarterly)
PROJECTING PEPFAR DEMAND
What is the Methodology Used?
• USAID’s GHSC-PSM is the intermediary for all USG procurement in the
applicable target countries
• USAID’s GHSC-PSM will collect, update and share procurement data through
USAID Supply Chain for Health Division
• USAID’s GHSC-PSM will implement a sourcing strategy focusing on
– Annual minimum volume for TLE
• Use standard industry evaluation criteria
• enable improved production planning & greater efficiency
• Multi-vendor

We would like to reiterate our strong commitment to transparent, fair and competitive procurement processes. For example,
according to the Global Fund’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers, corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, anti-competitive or coercive
practices are not tolerated, and are subject to sanctions, which could include debarment from eligibility as a Global Fund supplier.
Participants to the meeting must not:
discuss with other participants your own or your competitors prices, price changes, price differentials, discounts, margins, or
any terms of sale that might affect prices
discuss individual company figures on costs, capacity, compensation, business opportunities, products or services, or sales,
except for industry data such as interest rates that are made widely available to the industry by data services.
discuss what individual companies plan to do in particular geographic or product markets or with particular customers or
suppliers, including (a) customer or supplier policies, (b) the terms on which specific types of products may be distributed by
a firm, (c) the elimination, restriction, or limitation of the quantity or quality of any product or service to be sold, or (d) the
division or limitation of sales to particular territories, customers, or classes of customers.
discuss specific future plans of your company or other companies concerning the design, production, distribution, pricing
terms or marketing of particular products.
discuss matters relating to actual or potential individual suppliers or customers that might have the effect of excluding them
from any market or of influencing the business conduct of other companies toward such suppliers or customers.
disclose to others any other competitively sensitive or confidential information.
If you become aware of possible misconduct, this should be reported to the Office of the Inspector General. The Office of the
Inspector General treats all reports carefully and protects the identity of all whistle-blowers.

Original demand outlook can appear steady… …while actual orders can fluctuate quarter to quarter
Actual orders, million packs, 2015
• Originally project quarterly demand volumes are
often relatively smooth across quarters
• Shelf life of 85% at pick-up leaves only 3.6
months to distribute the goods (out of e.g. 24
months) – limiting the flexibility to reallocate
between the quarters
Actual orders fluctuate substantially due to
• Anticipated stock-outs – leading countries to requests for
financing and products from several sources at the same time
• Uncertainty in government financing – driving unexpected
shifts in partners’ demand

Procurement data collects from annual country-level national quantification exercises and supply plans (adjusted quarterly) PEPFAR supply chain technical staff and implementing partners are active
participates in national quantification forums
PEPFAR procurement data reflects the agreed upon USG contributions to the
national response supply plan based on annual country operational plans
USAID’s GHSC-PSM collects the data from across all PEPFAR countries1
and synthesizes for use
Represents the first time procurement data is collected globally, mergedwith Global Fund and South Africa data, and shared with vendors Fair to assume there may be inconsistencies
This is a first step in regular sharing of data (adjusted quarterly)

Large ARV Buyers and Sellers Forum 2016 – Breakout Session
Value for Money – options and incentives for improved collaboration
29 November, 2016
Geneva, Switzerland
Republic of South Africa
Buyers and Sellers Forum 2016 follows clear ground rules!
84
We would like to reiterate our strong commitment to transparent, fair and competitive procurement processes. For example,
according to the Global Fund’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers, corrupt, fraudulent, collusive, anti-competitive or coercive
practices are not tolerated, and are subject to sanctions, which could include debarment from eligibility as a Global Fund supplier.
Participants to the meeting must not:
discuss with other participants your own or your competitors prices, price changes, price differentials, discounts, margins, or
any terms of sale that might affect prices
discuss individual company figures on costs, capacity, compensation, business opportunities, products or services, or sales,
except for industry data such as interest rates that are made widely available to the industry by data services.
discuss what individual companies plan to do in particular geographic or product markets or with particular customers or
suppliers, including (a) customer or supplier policies, (b) the terms on which specific types of products may be distributed by
a firm, (c) the elimination, restriction, or limitation of the quantity or quality of any product or service to be sold, or (d) the
division or limitation of sales to particular territories, customers, or classes of customers.
discuss specific future plans of your company or other companies concerning the design, production, distribution, pricing
terms or marketing of particular products.
discuss matters relating to actual or potential individual suppliers or customers that might have the effect of excluding them
from any market or of influencing the business conduct of other companies toward such suppliers or customers.
disclose to others any other competitively sensitive or confidential information.
If you become aware of possible misconduct, this should be reported to the Office of the Inspector General. The Office of the
Inspector General treats all reports carefully and protects the identity of all whistle-blowers.

product cost),
creating value for
both parties without
“squeezing the

If the ARV medication is
competing vs. the high-margin
products in an environment
when the manufacturing
capacity hasn’t been reserved,
the flexible allocation is likely to be
margin-based – driving the ability
to react in ARV low, compared to
that of higher-margin products

Approach Impact
▪ Conduct joint project with suppliers in order to
– Increase flexibility
– Reduce cost in supply chain
– Improve information flow
▪ Map the current end to end process - from forecast to
final delivery
▪ Identify improvement opportunities along the supply
chain, e.g. Order raw materials based on forecast,
postpone order differentiation point, etc.
▪ Setup joint improvement teams and regular update
sessions, assure implementation at supplier and within
own system
▪ Install monthly S&OP planning with supplier
Collaborative effort to reduce supplier Lead Time leads to inventory
optimization, improved order quality and increased OTIF

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Significant opportunities captured in optimizing packaging through
introducing e.g. shrink packaging
Example: Introducing new packaging options … … brings large savings
▪ Looking at the properties
of the shrink packaging,
and taking into account
some efficiency loss, the
expected savings around
20-30% on direct volume-
weight-related costs
▪ This translates into an
expected average saving
of direct freight-costs of
5-7k USD per 100,000
packs

Removing additional
carton packaging
increases number of
bottles per box from

Methodology
Closer engagement with country programs
Most value will be derived from the discussions about the forecast and numbers – what does it
say/not say; where are the apparent inconsistencies
Open communication and dialogue, periodically publish aggregate actual volumes earlier and joint
problem-solving together on large deviations to help build “trust in the forecast”
Develop aligned messaging around the importance and benefits of better demand planning for all
parties (win-win)
Engaging decision makers and make economic and program implications clearer
Include more countries and products to increase scope beyond 55% demand
Avoid double-counting of volumes between buyers
More real-time sharing of volume data; providing more regular forecast updates
More nuanced forecasting accuracy metric can highlight where issues / opportunities are
Indicate level of certainty in the forecast (including “firm commitments” vs. “less certain’)
Alignment on the definitions and time-points; portray production and in-country timelines separately

▪ Definition of performance with clear metrics
▪ Consequences of poor/good performance for suppliers
▪ Supplier performance throughout tenure period
▪ Ensure clear path to enter for new entrants
▪ Consider whether and how to enable poor performers to improve and gain share
▪ Engage countries still focusing on lowest price to have a more balanced approach
▪ Communicate wider on cost of poor performance
▪ Invest in ability to respond to enhanced requirements
▪ Voluntarily provide market intelligence more frequently
▪ Support country programmes to plan better
