Public health contracts.
Hospitals, health centres and the SNS buy medicines, equipment and services through public contracts. Questiona gathers that spending from the official data (CPV 33, health) and lets you see who is paid, how much, and when the award was made by direct award.
Health is one of the largest slices of public spending, and some of it runs on urgency: stock shortages, broken equipment, outbreaks. That makes direct awards common in the sector, which is exactly why the pattern matters more than any single contract.
Rather than an invented sector statistic, Questiona takes you to the actual health contracts in the official data and lets you follow each one to the hospital paying and the company being paid.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I see the SNS medicine contracts?
Search healthcare procurement on Questiona: it filters health-category contracts from the official data and shows who supplies them and for how much.
Do hospitals buy by direct award?
Sometimes, yes. Direct awards are legal below certain thresholds and clinical urgency is a common reason. What helps is seeing how often it happens, and with which suppliers.
How do I follow a health supplier?
Open a health contract and follow the links: from the contract to the awarding hospital and the supplier, and from there to its other contracts.
