Telemedicine — Public Procurement
Telemedicine is rapidly gaining importance in public healthcare. Hospitals, public health authorities and statutory health insurance associations are increasingly tendering telemedicine solutions — from video consultation platforms through telemonitoring systems to teleradiology reporting services. The digitalisation of healthcare and the lessons learned from the pandemic have markedly accelerated demand for telemedicine procurement procedures.
Typical tenders in the telemedicine sector
- Procurement of a video consultation platform for a statutory health insurance association
- Setting up a telemonitoring system for patients with heart failure
- Establishing a teleradiology infrastructure for night and weekend reporting
- Procurement of a teleconsultation platform for stroke care (tele-stroke)
- Supply of telematics end devices for home patient monitoring
- Introduction of a telemedicine network for rural regions

Challenges in tender discovery
Telemedicine tenders are difficult to find as they sit at the interface between healthcare and IT. Some contracting authorities tender under IT codes, others under health services, and still others under medical equipment. Terminology ranges from "telemedicine" through "digital health" to "eHealth solution" or specific application labels such as "telemonitoring" or "teleconsultation".
In addition, these are often innovative procurements where contracting authorities themselves do not yet use established procurement standards. Negotiated procedures, innovation partnerships and prior market consultations are particularly common in this area.
