EAFIP Workshop for Health and Eldery Care Sector Procurers

The first EAFIP workshop focused on innovation procurement of ICT-based solutions in the health and elderly care sector, was organised jointly with NHS England.

EAFIP supports EU public procurers in the design and implementation of innovation procurement of ICT solutions. In this workshop, public procurers in the healthcare sector got the chance to receive information and hands-on support about:

• Concrete cases of new procurement needs identified by the participating key procurers;
• The upcoming EU funding opportunities in the health / elderly care domain; and
• The different steps of designing and undertaking a PCP or PPI procurement.
