The goal of the finalized Procure project was to make current healthcare procurement practices more resilient and efficient across the European Union and to ensure that public health and healthcare procurement systems can respond to future emergency crises and pandemics. The project examined how procurement strategies, plans, policies, and processes were incorporated into public procurement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through this analysis, the PROCURE team identified key lessons learned for healthcare procurement during emergency crises and developed informed recommendations aimed at strengthening the capabilities of healthcare procurers moving forward.

Building a stronger future together. A new era for Healthcare Procurement
The Procurement in Health for Uncertain Times conference took place in Madrid on May 20–21, 2025, as a joint initiative of the Procure4Health and PROCURE projects—both dedicated to improving healthcare procurement across Europe. The event fostered dialogue around innovative solutions, public-private collaboration, and key challenges in resource management, health technology, and sustainability. Partners shared lessons from the past three years, highlighting a common takeaway: the power of community and collaboration.

PROCURE's Strategic Framework

The Strategic Framework is a guiding structure developed within the PROCURE project to strengthen how healthcare procurement is managed across Europe. It brings together research, expert knowledge, and collaborative analysis to identify priorities and shape practical improvements. In this phase, the project focused on turning insights from an extensive Observational Study and a Delphi expert consultation across 10 EU Member States into actionable strategies. These strategies address critical focus areas and provide clear guidance to support more resilient, efficient, and sustainable procurement systems in European healthcare.

The Observational Study - Laying the Groundwork for Change

The Observational Study is a foundational component of the PROCURE project, providing essential data on healthcare procurement practices across Europe. Involving 148 healthcare organisations—including suppliers, contracting authorities, private procurers, and healthcare institutions—this study captures diverse perspectives of procurement. See the full report, country ID cards and the comparative analysis here.
