Value Based Procurement Community
The VBP Community of Practice (VBP CoP) is originally set-up by Yves Verboven, founded and facilitated by MedTech Europe in partnership with the Boston Consulting Group and an initial group of procurers, medical technology firms and national medical technology associations.
In 2019, the VBP Community of Practice was further formalized together with the European Health Public Procurement Alliance (EHPPA) joining as a founding partner.
The VBP Community of Practice is a community of natural persons from both procurement organisations and the medical technology industry showing a high level of engagement in VBP and a drive to change current procurement practice from a volume- to value-based approach. It provides a networking platform for the exchange of expertise, experience and initiatives on VBP with a yearly conference and supportive material made available
