Hospitals and health services in France
58 public buyers declaring "Health" as their main activity in their TED notices, with at least ten supply contract award notices since November 2023. The most notices first.
In proportion
General government spending on goods, services and investment for health in France came to €180 billion in 2024 (Eurostat, COFOG). How much of it reaches suppliers through tenders depends on how the country organises the sector — for example whether statutory health insurance is classified in government.
