Imaging & Diagnostics — Public Tenders
Imaging modalities and diagnostic equipment are core capital assets in hospitals and medical centres. The procurement of X-ray equipment, MRI and CT scanners, ultrasound devices, and other diagnostic systems is regularly carried out through public procurement procedures. Because of the high acquisition costs, these contracts frequently exceed EU threshold values and are subject to EU-wide tendering procedures.
Typical tenders in the imaging & diagnostics sector
- Procurement and installation of a 3 Tesla MRI system for a university hospital
- Supply of a digital X-ray system including retrofitting of existing rooms
- Replacement of a 128-slice computed tomography scanner
- Framework agreement for the supply of ultrasound devices for multiple sites
- Procurement of an angiography system for interventional radiology
- Supply and maintenance of mammography screening units

Challenges in finding tenders
The procurement of imaging equipment is technically complex and subject to strict requirements regarding medical device standards and radiation protection. Tenders are often written very specifically, so that searches for general terms may miss relevant procedures. At the same time, terminology varies considerably: a CT scanner may be tendered as a "computed tomography scanner", "CT system", "whole-body CT", or simply "cross-sectional imaging device".
Because these are major items with project volumes in the six- to seven-figure range, timely identification of tenders is business-critical. In addition, such procurements often involve complex packages combining supply, installation, commissioning, training, and multi-year maintenance.
