Guidelines for public procurement in the healthcare sector

06. Jan. 2017. in publications

The process of public procurement within the healthcare sector is acknowledged within the broader framework of public procurement as an area requiring more detailed legal resolution. Several factors contribute to this:

  • The unique nature of public procurement planning within healthcare.
  • The heightened responsibility associated with meticulous procurement planning by healthcare institutions, given that public health is at stake. This responsibility extends to market analysis and evaluating contract implementation.
  • The potential for an increased demand for urgent procurement, such as during epidemics, natural disasters, or shortages. This necessitates an analysis of the frequency and nature of such instances.
  • The frequent changes in needs within the healthcare sector, which are challenging to predict and plan for.
