The article points out the new challenges of collaborative procurement in the healthcare sector. The research focuses on the optimization of healthcare purchasing through the reduction of costs without any prejudice to the quality of healthcare performances, but also assuring rationalization and innovation.

A Joint cross border procurement in Healthcare sector can foster innovation either in the award procedure and in the subject matter of the contract.

Moreover, the importance of collaborative procurement is particularly evident considering the ensuing valorization of the diverse professional skills and their use of strategic purchasing power in their relationships with economic operators.
