LCSP 2024: What Healthcare Providers Need to Know Before Tendering

The Ley de Contratos del Sector Público (LCSP 9/2017) governs all public procurement in Spain. For healthcare and service providers, its provisions are not optional reading — non-compliance means disqualification at the tender stage and potential liability after award.

The 2024 amendments introduce stricter requirements around subcontracting transparency, environmental criteria weighting and digital audit trails for service delivery. For sterilisation providers specifically, the new traceability requirements align closely with EN 17141 standards — which EASBridge has built into its core operating model from day one.

Key points for providers: ensure your service documentation system can produce cycle-level traceability reports on request, review your subcontracting disclosure obligations, and check whether your quality management system meets the updated ISO alignment criteria in the new technical specifications.
