title: [Stocking process for consumables and investement goods in the Italian public health service (part II)].
abstract: The necessity for fairness and transparency during the processes of supply of consumables and capital goods within the Italian Health Service together with that of containing costs in line with budget reductions, are points outlined in the 2006 public and European Union allocation codes and related procedures. These include methods to guarantee open, limited negotiation both without or after the official announcement for competitive bidding has been made, plus mediation and framework agreement. The publicizing of announcements of bidding to potential Health Service suppliers, criteria for applicant selection and selection of personnel to comprise the panels who effectively make the choice of suppliers, are all phases that are carefully regulated at a legal level. Even small expenditures (down to 20,000) are covered by these regulations. An overview of specific responsibilities, the institution of boards of physicians and the application of sanctions ends the present review.
