Public procurement in France is thorough. It’s also slow. A full appel d’offres for specialist shelter equipment can take months and that’s assuming nothing gets contested along the way. When your hospital, nursing home, or emergency unit needs deployable tents or decontamination infrastructure, waiting isn’t always an option.
That’s where RESAH comes in.
What is RESAH?
RESAH (Réseau des Acheteurs Hospitaliers) is France’s only central purchasing body specialised in both healthcare and medical-social sectors. Created in 2007, it now serves more than 800 public organisations, almost all French public hospitals, nursing homes and public health agencies.
Ordering through RESAH means full compliance with the Code de la commande publique, without the need to run a separate public tender. The contract work is already done, you only need to pick what you need and order.
In 2021 alone, procurement through RESAH contracts reached 1.8 billion euros.
