Abstract

European procurement systems for EP consumables differ markedly in structure, evaluation practices and alignment with clinical and innovation priorities. Integrating clinician input, adopting value-based frameworks and embedding sustainability metrics could enhance procurement outcomes and patient care. Harmonized guidance from EHRA and EU-level stakeholders may support more equitable and innovation-friendly procurement strategies.
