Important ConsiderationsImportant ConsiderationsThe proliferation of these regulations is prompting lifesciences companies to consider important questions, such as:
Will more laws/regulations be passed? Where? When?How should we address the new laws? Should we implement a global
solution, or should each country’s offices manage efforts locally?How much can we leverage the systems and data investments made
in the U.S. and other countries to develop global capabilities?What controls should we put in place to make certain that the data we
are collecting is complete and accurate?Who in our organization should own this responsibility?What are other organizations doing?

Similarities Nuances
Local or Global Solution?Local or Global Solution?
There is a great deal of redundancy in the data, IT capabilities and processes required to meet the disclosure requirements by each country with applicable regulations.
This redundancy has led many companies to begin development or consider future development of a center of excellence with shared capabilities to service several or all countries with HCP’s transparency requirements within a company.
Any further opportunity to coordinate across the industry to develop data, IT capabilities and operations which can be shared by multiple companies??
51
What Can Be Centralized?What Can Be Centralized?1. Monitor environment for new regulations2. Interpret disclosure regulations and translate into system requirements3. Define/update guidelines or policies, business processes and standard operating procedures (SOPs)4. Train individuals on new policies, procedures and SOPs5. Build technology capabilities based on approved requirements6. Enter HCP/O spend data entry into source systems7. Monitor data quality8. Correct data errors in source systems9. Maintain HCP/O master data10. Develop and execute communication plan11. Execute/produce draft disclosure reports12. Review disclosure reports prior to submission internally13. Review HCP spend data with HCPs and make updates to data, ifneeded14. Submit disclosure report (or post on web)15. Support technology

Procurement in the EUProcurement in the EU
Where public entities in any of the 28 EU member states wish to purchase goods, services or works from private sector enterprises, they must follow the processes set out in EU public procurement legislationOn 28 March 2014, the EU published three new public procurement Directives
55
Procurement in the EUProcurement in the EU
Public purchasers (contracting authorities) are required to treat suppliers (economic operators) equally and without discrimination and act in a transparent and proportionate wayThe design of a procurement must also not be made with the objective of excluding it from the scope of the public procurement rules or of artificially narrowing competition between economic operators
56
Procurement in the EUProcurement in the EU
Current rulesUnder the prior (2004) directives (which continue in force until replaced by the new rules as explained in the introduction to this advisory), generally all European procurements are to be conducted using one of four procedures:- Open- Restricted- Competitive dialogue- Negotiated procedure (with or without notice).The open procedure is the most simple, advertised one. The contracting authority notifies a contract for the supply of goods, services or works in the Official Journal of the EU and all companies are free to tenderThe restricted procedure is also a simple, advertised procedure, but it uses an initial pre-qualification stage whereby the contracting authority is able to reduce the number of interested suppliers who will be invited to tender, on the basis of published selection criteriaThe competitive dialogue and negotiated procedures are more complex. The competitive dialogue procedure is similar to the restricted procedure; however, the pool of pre-selected suppliers is invited to participate in a competitive dialogue to develop one or more solutions to meet the contracting authority’s procurement needsThe negotiated procedure envisages that pre-selected suppliers will be invited to negotiate the terms of the procured contract directly. There are currently strict limitations on use of both the competitive dialogue and the negotiated procedures
57
Procurement in the EUProcurement in the EUNew rules
Under the new rules, there will be the following six procedures:- Open- Restricted- competitive dialogue (which can now be used in broader circumstances)- competitive procedure with negotiation (new)- negotiated procedure without notice- innovation partnerships (new)As before, the new rules will set a high bar for any departures from the “open” or “restricted”procedures.Competitive procedure with negotiation. This new procedure is intended for use for any type of contract, provided the supplies sought are not merely “off the shelf.” The European Commission envisages that the procedure will be useful for services or supplies contracts that require some adaptation or design effort, for example purchases of sophisticated products where negotiations may be necessary to guarantee that the supply or service corresponds properly to the complex needs of the contracting authority. The new procedure, however, is subject to various safeguards. Contracting authorities must specify the subject matter of the contract, the award criteria and the minimum requirements at the time the contract notice is published. Any changes must be communicated to all candidates and every candidate must be given the possibility to submit a final tender. Finally, the conduct of the negotiations must be documented in a report to be drawn up by the contracting authority.Innovation partnership. This new procedure can be used where the contracting authority is procuring an innovative product,service or works. “Innovative” is anything not readily available on the market. The partnership is aimed at the development of the product, service or works (e.g., R&D services) and the subsequent purchase and supply of the resulting product, service or works. The contracting authority is able to set up a partnership with one partner or several partners conducting separate research and development activities.

Procurement in the EUProcurement in the EU
New criteria for assessing tendersCurrent rules
Currently, tenders may be assessed either on the basis of (a) lowest price or (b) the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT) which includes quality criteria in addition to lowest price.
New rulesUnder the new rules, MEAT will be the only basis for award, and it has now been defined in the new Directive. Under the new MEAT-only approach, national procurement laws:- must identify which is the most economically advantageous tender on the basis
of price or cost using a cost-effectiveness approach. Such approach may be based on explicitly stated life-cycle costing criteria which include, among other things, the cost of acquisition and use
- may allow public authorities to use a methodology referred to as best price-cost ratio – which includes, among other things, qualitative and social aspects linked to the contract. Quality includes features such as technical merit, social and innovative characteristics and technical assistance
- may prohibit public authorities from using cost only or price only as the sole award criterion.

Remember that “data subjects” have the right to see their data
State clearly the purpose of the data collection
Collect only enough data required to fulfil the purpose
Keep the data accurate and up-to-date
Keep the data secure
