The EU-funded project Procure4Health has launched its Open Market Consultation. Procure4Health aims to challenge the market to develop innovative solutions to tackle 4 common challenges related to On-site treatment of hospital wastewater (introductory event on 3 April 2024, register here); Personal protection against pathogens (8 May 2024, register here); Home-based care and remote monitoring (26th June 2024, register here); Precision and predictive medicine (11 September 2024, register here).

The OMC aims to validate the findings of the Market Analysis and the State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) Analysis and the viability of the set of technical and financial provisions, collect insights from the industry which can be used to fine tune the tender specifications, and raise awareness to the industry regarding the upcoming procurement procedure. All interested technology providers from EU Member States and Associated Countries are invited to take part in the OMC.

A Prior Information Notice (PIN) has been published in the Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) to announce the OMC conducted by the Procure4Health project. In addition, a specific PIN for each of the four challenges will be published in the forthcoming weeks.

Procure4Health is an EU project that aims to overcome the barriers to EU-wide adoption of innovation procurement by creating an open community of healthcare procurement stakeholders. Its 33 founding partners are actively promoting innovation procurement through knowledge sharing and capacity building, networking and matchmaking, identification of common needs and the launch of joint actions to address them as well as influencing policy on procurement of innovation.
