Germany – Field hospital – rescEU - EMT Field Hospitals

The rescEU Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) project is an initiative under the Union Civil Protection Mechanism aimed at strengthening Europe’s capacity to respond to medical emergencies. Eight countries — Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Romania, and Türkiye — are collaborating to establish and maintain 21 specialised medical teams. The project runs from December 2022 to September 2026. Building on the experience of the European Modular Field Hospital (EUMFH) project, the goal is to ensure that all teams are equipped with interoperable and reliable equipment, enabling both joint operations and individual deployments. A key component of the project is the procurement of equipment and supporting infrastructure necessary to make the capacities operational. This includes not only medical equipment, but also a wide range of related items such as logistics, communication, and technical support systems. The procurement is carried out jointly by the participating countries, with the goal of ensuring harmonisation, cost-efficiency, and maximum interoperability. The procurement procedures are carried out on the Mercell Tendering Platform based on the Dynamic Purchaseing Procdure (DPS). Interested economic operators are invited to submitt their electronic applications for the relevant categories during the duration of the Dynamic Purchasing System. The contracting authority (Johanniter) may extend the duration of the Dynamic Purchasing System for 6 month. The full compliance with the procedure conditions is required. Questions e.g. about the conditions or participation have to be submitted by the economic operators exclusively in the section "Applicant Questions". Questions about the platform use have to be raised with a ticket under Mercell Support Page or by phone -+49 6131 6338918 . The Dynamic Purchasing System comprises 18 categories: 1.
