The purchasing strategy essentially consists of working out upstream of the act of purchase, most often in the form of a consultation, a series of actions which should make it possible to optimize the processing of supply and demand. These actions concern all aspects of the file: definition of the technical need, response to the health request as well as the regulatory compliance of the file. In order to prepare the definition of needs, a study of the industrial offer must be carried out. For each of the projects, the various potential suppliers were invited to make presentations of their offer as well as site visits intended for the user care staff and biomedical service.
The definition of needs is a fundamental step in the preparation for the purchase. The drafting of the specifications, an obligatory passage for the realization of the consultation, imposes a reflection of the various actors on the interest of such or such service. This definition of needs was carried out with the participation of doctors, managers and nursing or medico-technical staff in a completely conventional way.
