HIPSS: Health Innovation Procurement Support Services
The challenge
The European healthcare sector faces significant challenges in public procurement of innovation, marked by silos between stakeholders, fragmentation across countries, and a need to demonstrate value to diverse parties. Addressing these issues is crucial to advancing healthcare solutions, fostering resilience, and maintaining global competitiveness.
This project proposes the creation of the HIPSS (Healthcare Innovation Procurement Specialist Services) Platform to bridge gaps between public procurers and innovators, facilitating a more efficient and effective innovation procurement process.
Leveraging the extensive expertise of consortium partners, HIPSS aims to provide a one-stop shop platform offering advisory services, networking opportunities, and data analysis to support innovation procurement.
The platform will deliver tailored services to public procurers and innovators, enhance transparency and communication, and promote inclusivity across Europe’s diverse healthcare landscapes. By integrating stakeholders from various regions, HIPSS seeks to harmonise innovation procurement processes, overcoming maturity gaps and ensuring equal opportunities for all healthcare systems.
It will be co-created with various stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem, including public buyers, innovators, hospitals, and other relevant parties, ensuring that the solution is comprehensive and addresses the needs of all involved. This collaborative approach will ensure that HIPSS not only supports but actively enhances the innovation procurement landscape in European healthcare.
