For 2025, the bidder’s net turnover from healthcare services must be at least EUR 106,171.

For e-consultations, the bidder must either have provided e-consultations in the offered specialty during the 12 calendar months before the month of the decision to launch the tender, or be ready to provide e-consultations through the health information system by the tender deadline.
