Contracting authorityCharles University in Prague – First Faculty of MedicineProcedureDynamic purchasing system, above the EU threshold
In brief: On 10 November 2026, Charles University in Prague, through its First Faculty of Medicine, decided to admit INOVUM SRL of Oradea to its dynamic purchasing system for simulators, task trainers and medical teaching models. In practice, we can bid in every procurement the faculty launches through this system.
What happened
The First Faculty of Medicine of Charles University ran a public procurement procedure above the EU threshold to set up a dynamic purchasing system (DPS). Through it, the faculty will buy equipment for the practical training of medical students.
INOVUM submitted its request to participate on time (17 August 2026). The contracting authority examined the documents and found that the request meets all the conditions of the procurement documents and of the Czech public procurement law (Act No. 134/2016, Section 139(6)). The admission decision was signed by the dean of the faculty, Prof. Martin Vokurka, MD, PhD.

What a dynamic purchasing system is
Put simply, it is a list of vetted suppliers. The institution qualifies them once and then, for as long as the system runs, sends them invitations to tender for each specific purchase. Whoever has the right price and the right product wins that contract.
Admission to a DPS is not a contract, but the right to compete for contracts. At a university with the tradition and the purchasing volume of Charles University, founded in 1348 and one of the oldest in Europe, that right matters.
Why it matters for our clients in Romania
- External validation. INOVUM’s documents, experience and capacity have passed the scrutiny of a contracting authority in another EU Member State, under its own rules.
- Direct experience in medical simulation. We work with manufacturers of simulators, manikins and anatomical models used in medical education. We offer the same solutions to medical universities, post-secondary health schools and hospitals in Romania.
- Cross-border procedures. We know how to prepare a bid in another language, under different legislation and on a different e-procurement platform. This also shortens our response time in local tenders.
Prague is not an exception
Prague is the latest step on an international path that is already under way:
- Croatia – we delivered a 3D bioprinter to the University of Zagreb – Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology.
- Romania – we delivered a 3D bioprinter to the University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest.
- Czech Republic – since November 2026 we have been an admitted supplier in Charles University’s purchasing system.
A small grammatical correction, with respect for the press
On 2 November 2026, Gândul published an article by Ms Ruxandra Rădulescu with the subheading “INOVUM SRL, subscribed to contracts with the state”. Our position on the substance has already been published in our right of reply.
Now we only have a suggestion as to form: it would be more accurate to say “subscribed to contracts with the states”. The singular no longer covers reality: Romania, Hungary, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Croatia and, from now on, the Czech Republic. We will gladly send an update each time a new state is added to the list.
Joking aside, a supplier that passes the scrutiny of a university in Prague or in Croatia does not have a “subscription”; it competes. It bids, it is evaluated under public rules, and it wins or loses, just like anyone else.
