EU PROCURE projet: a successful collaboration

Posted on 04.12.2025

The EU PROCURE project, a collaborative European effort that brought together 23 partner organisations from 10 EU Member States, including public procurement bodies, research institutions, and MedTech Europe, successfully created three deliverables confirming that EU healthcare procurement requires both system reforms and a cultural shift towards value, collaboration, and preparedness.

  1. Observational Study on European Healthcare & Procurement Environment: This deliverable provides a comprehensive, comparative mapping of procurement practices, health system structures, and supply chain challenges across ten Member States.
  2. Country-Level Procurement Strategy & Recommendations: This deliverable develops country-specific analyses and strategic recommendations through structured dialogues, webinars, Delphi consultation, and national case studies.
  3. EU-Level Procurement Policy Recommendations: This final deliverable consolidates all evidence into eight overarching policy recommendations for EU-level action. These proposals aim to make procurement systems clearer, faster, greener, more value-focused, and better prepared for crises.

Through close collaboration across countries, including a high level of cooperation between procurement organisations and the medtech industry, PROCURE has generated an evidence base and a shared vision for more resilient, sustainable, and value-driven procurement systems.
