This ground-breaking book offers hands-on guidance drawn from real experiences, covering the full lifecycle of Innovation Procurement. The nine chapters illustrate how there is no one-size-fits-all model, but a shared need to equip people with the tools and confidence to act.
Implementing Innovation Procurement in Healthcare captures the very best of Procure4Health’s knowledge and expertise (a growing community of European Health organisations).
Drawing on insights from every EU funded Procure4Health workstream, and authored by fourteen partner experts, it delivers practical guidance, inspiring case studies, and proven tools that you and your organisation can apply right away.
This book is more than a publication – it’s the lasting legacy of Procure4Health, designed to empower procurement professionals, healthcare providers, suppliers, and innovators to make a lasting impact.
