Market Opportunity

Unified pharmaceutical procurement oversight for national health systems — real-time transparency and institutional intelligence

Government health ministries and public health institutions generate procurement data — in Costa Rica, SICOP logs tenders from CAJA, INS, the Ministry of Health, and regional hospitals — but often lack a single operational view of buying patterns, supplier performance, and spend. Public Health Intelligence is built to centralize pharmaceutical and medical procurement into one institutional dashboard. Costa Rica is live; other markets follow a published roadmap.

The Institutional Challenge

Decentralization: CAJA, INS, Ministry of Health, regional hospitals, and specialty centers procure independently; no unified institutional view exists
Speed Gap: Procurement officers monitor SICOP manually. By the time a bid is reviewed, it's closed. Supply disruptions go unnoticed until stock-outs occur
Data Fragmentation: Tender information is published; awarded contracts and price data are split across Datos Abiertos and closed systems
Risk Blindness: No real-time alerts for high-risk procurement: unsealed bids, price spikes, repeated suppliers with quality issues

Why Now

→Public accountability initiatives require traceable, auditable pharmaceutical procurement
→WHO and regional health bodies are pushing toward open health procurement data
→Supply disruptions are forcing health systems to improve visibility of critical medicines
→Coverage is published as Live, Beta, or Roadmap — planned markets are not treated as live regional coverage

Core Capabilities

Complete procurement oversight for public health institutions

System-Wide Procurement Dashboard

  • Real-time view of all active tenders across CAJA, INS, Ministry of Health, and regional hospitals
  • Status tracking: open for bids, closing in 48h, awarded, adjudicated, at-risk
  • Institutional breakdown: agency, budget spent, supplier awarded, procurement timeline
  • Customizable alerts for high-risk procurement (price spikes >15%, blacklisted supplier reappears)

Institutional Intelligence

  • Demand forecasting: track multi-year buying patterns by institution
  • Supplier risk monitoring: bid concentration, repeated quality issues
  • Cross-institutional duplication detection: save 20%+ through consolidated procurement
  • Budget optimization: identify highest-spend areas; negotiate regional contracts

Strategic Watchlist + Supply Chain

  • Automatic tracking of 172 bioequivalent pharmaceutical variants
  • Automatic tracking of 404 difficult-to-source supply items
  • Alert when watchlist items enter shortage before stock hits zero
  • Supply chain bottleneck detection across institutional procurement cycles

Price & Contract Tracking

  • Historical price data for 2,020+ awarded contracts (Costa Rica, 2020–present)
  • Price trend analysis: detect supplier exploitation vs. justified price changes
  • Competitor intelligence: private vs. public supplier bid comparison
  • Seasonality patterns: forecast institutional budget needs

Operational Efficiency

Before

Procurement officers manually monitor SICOP. Tender review lag: 2–3 weeks post-publication. Risk signals go unnoticed until budget impact is visible.

With Public Health Intelligence

Real-time dashboard surfaces all tenders within 1 hour. Alerts flag risk immediately. Approve or reject tenders in 48 hours, not 3 weeks.

→Shorter review cycles when tenders surface in hours rather than weeks — impact varies by institution and is not a guaranteed saving.

Cost Containment

Before

Paying 20% premium when supplier offered lower rate to a peer institution. 12 separate tenders for the same insumo.

With Public Health Intelligence

Price trend data informs negotiation. Consolidated procurement with volume discounts. Watchlist alerts prevent emergency procurement at 30% markup.

→Price visibility to support negotiation. We do not publish guaranteed savings figures without a public methodology.
