Clinical Clothing — Public Procurement

Challenges in tender discovery
Clinical clothing is listed under various designations in procurement practice: "clinical workwear", "surgical textiles", "hospital linen", "textile supply" or "laundry service". The distinction between supply (purchase) and service (textile rental with laundry) influences the procurement category and the search strategy.
In addition, clinical clothing lots are often tendered as part of comprehensive hospital procurement programmes and are only visible in the lot structure.
