Clinical Services — Public Procurement
Clinical services cover a broad spectrum of medical services that contracting authorities award to external providers. These include physician on-call services, locum doctors, medical assessments, rehabilitation services and occupational health services. Procurement is carried out under public procurement law, although certain special procurement regimes apply for health services.

- Framework agreement for the provision of locum doctors across various departments
- Procurement of occupational health services for a city administration

Challenges in tender discovery
Clinical services are tendered under a wide variety of designations and CPV codes, which makes systematic searching difficult. The boundary between medical services and other health services is often blurred. In addition, certain health services are subject to the special procurement regime under section 130 GWB, which entails different procedures and publication obligations.
The heterogeneity of contracting authorities — from municipalities and counties to social insurance bodies — means that tenders are published on many different platforms. Without comprehensive platform coverage, relevant procurement procedures remain undetected.
