Market Scoping should be done by procurement package, not for every individual item. If one project covers many medicines, group the items logically based on their procurement mode and specifications. For example:

• Medicines that will go through competitive bidding may be grouped together under one Market Scoping Form.
• Medicines that qualify for Direct Contracting (e.g., branded items with no substitutes) may be documented under a separate Market Scoping Form.

Within each Market Scoping Form, clearly indicate the specific line items included and the procurement mode to be applied. This way, when the PPMP is prepared, it will clearly reflect the different procurement strategies used within the project.

This approach helps to:

• Avoid confusion when consolidating multiple line items;
• Ensure transparency in applying different procurement modes; and
• Simplify consolidation from Market Scoping to the PPMP and eventually to the APP.
