About us
The Value Based Procurement Community of Practice (VBP CoP) is a community of natural persons showing a high level of engagement in VBP and a drive to change current procurement practice to a value-based approachto bring procurers, their leadership and medtech industry representatives together to engage with health care providers, health authorities, knowledge partners and other stakeholders with a common interest in VBP. It provides a networking platform for the exchange of expertise, experience, and initiatives.
The objective of the VBP CoP is to foster a change in practice and implement value-based procurement both in the public and private healthcare sectors. This will bring the most economically advantageous solution into healthcare, taking into account the value offered to patients, to the care givers, the providers and potentially, to society.
The VBP CoP is driven by its members and assisted by supporting and knowledge partners. The CoP focuses on 5 key activities: Engage & Outreach, Educate, Collaborate, Derive Learnings and Continuously Enhance its Toolkit
More information on the VBP CoP and the documents developed by the CoP are available in the resource library here.

VBP
Value–Based Procurement is a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to partner for patient-centric, higher quality and more sustainable health care. Value–Based Procurement addresses key challenges in the provider/supplier relationship, leading tomost economic advantageous purchasing by awarding the specific needs and what citizens, health systems, health actors and society value.
The basis for VBP is laid down in the multi-layered framework taking into account the outcomes that matter to patients, the benefits for key healthcare stakeholders and society as a whole, the cost along the full process of care delivery, and the offering of innovative solutions. When applying the VBP-methodology the contracting authority is awarding the contract based on the principle of the best total cost-quality ratio resulting in the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT).
