Standfirst

Region Jämtland Härjedalen has awarded 23 of 26 lots for rolling medical equipment, from examination couches to patient trolleys, to 12 suppliers. Sjöblöms Sjukvårdsutrustning led with seven lots, while three lots closed without a winner.

Introduction

Hospitals depend on a huge range of everyday mobile equipment, examination couches, treatment chairs, medicine refrigerators, patient trolleys and privacy screens, each with its own clinical specification. Sourcing this equipment across dozens of categories requires breaking a single tender into many narrowly defined lots.

Sweden's Jämtland Härjedalen region has just closed exactly this kind of tender, appointing suppliers across 23 separate equipment categories for its hospitals.

Why This Contract Matters

This tender covers the practical, everyday mobile equipment that clinical staff rely on constantly, from blood donor chairs to dialysis and chemotherapy treatment chairs, sample collection carts and pressure relieving cushions. Reliable, well specified equipment across this range directly supports day to day clinical care quality across the region's hospitals.

About the Contracting Authority

Region Jämtland Härjedalen

Region Jämtland Härjedalen is a regional authority with health as its classified activity, based in Sweden's Jämtland county. It is responsible for public healthcare delivery across the region and this tender furnishes its hospitals with a broad range of essential mobile clinical equipment.

About the Organisations Involved

Sjöbloms Sjukvårdsutrustning Aktiebolag, based in Själevad and classified as a large enterprise, was the dominant winner, securing seven lots spanning examination couches, instrument tables, sample collection equipment and infusion stands. Eica AB, based in Halmstad and Sacomed A/S, a Danish company based in Brøndby, each won three lots as SME classified firms. Oscar Medtec AB, based in Kungälv and also an SME, won two lots.

The remaining winners each secured a single lot: AJ Medical Kommanditbolag, B. Braun Medical Aktiebolag, Macopharma Nordic Aktiebolag, MA-GO Scandinavia AB, Medema Physio AB, San Sac AB and SILENTIA Aktiebolag, all classified as large enterprises and Nexor Medical Nordic AB, an SME based in Fjärås.

Procurement Analysis

Sjöbloms Sjukvårdsutrustning's dominance across seven lots reflects its position as a broad line medical equipment distributor, while the remaining winners each secured a narrower slice matching more specific product categories. The three unawarded lots, covering gynaecological examination couches, visual acuity and lighting equipment and patient trolleys, represent categories where no successful award was made in this round.

Additional Procurement Facts

The tender includes a cross border winner, Sacomed A/S of Denmark, confirming genuine international competitive interest alongside domestic Swedish suppliers.

Market and Industry Perspective

The winner list reflects Sweden's medical equipment distribution market, spanning a mix of large national distributors and smaller specialist SMEs, several with narrow, product specific focus areas such as privacy screens or waste bag holders.

Economic Significance

At an estimated 10 million SEK across the full tender, this represents a modest but recurring category of regional healthcare equipment spending, supporting hospital operations across Jämtland Härjedalen.

Future Procurement Opportunities

The three unawarded lots represent an area to watch, since the region will likely need to re-tender these specific equipment categories to fill the gap left by this round's outcome.

Opportunities for Suppliers

Medical equipment suppliers, particularly those specialising in gynaecological examination furniture, vision testing equipment, or patient trolleys, should watch for a re-tender of the three unawarded lots.

What Businesses Should Watch

Medical equipment suppliers should watch for Region Jämtland Härjedalen's approach to re-tendering its three unawarded categories and should monitor similar regional Swedish healthcare equipment tenders.
