The Procure4Health project is a community of European Health organisations interested in procurement of innovation. The project's 33 founding members actively promoted innovation procurement through knowledge sharing and capacity building, networking and matchmaking, identification of common unmet needs, and launched joint actions to address them, as well as influencing policy on procurement of innovation. This project started in May 2022 and ran until May 2025.
Health Care Without Harm Europe supported the project by building a web platform for this new community of public or private procurers and organisations interested in innovation procurement. HCWH Europe engaged the community through discussions, working groups, training, and networking events.
The Procure4Health Community provided members with valuable resources and tools to optimise the procurement of innovation, as well as a supportive network and forum to share common challenges and successes. Members of the community had free access to a range of services, including:
- Networking opportunities: Connect with healthcare innovation procurement professionals in Europe and expand your professional network.
- Industry news and insights: Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the procurement industry and stay ahead of the curve.
- Knowledge sharing: Learn from the experiences of others in the community and share your insights to help others.
- Problem-solving: Collaborate with peers to find solutions to complex procurement challenges and improve processes.
- Professional development: Participate in training and development opportunities, attend webinars, and access a capacity-building catalogue to sharpen your skills.
- Collaboration and teamwork: Work with other procurement professionals to achieve and deliver better results for your organisation.
- Policy impact: Explore funding schemes to co-finance innovation procurement and influence procurement-related policy at the European level.
European healthcare organisations interested in the procurement of innovation can access the Procure4Health Map of Procurers, available publicly below.
The Procure4Health community will continue working
