A purchasing strategy is developed to be part of the basis for the MTP council's decision on recommendation. The purchasing strategy highlights various commercial aspects that should be taken into account in a national managed introduction of a medical device.

The commercial aspects can include contract terms, business models and contract management methods to enable efficient and appropriate regional purchases of the recommended medical device or group of medical devices

If the MTP council's recommendation is that the current product or product group can or should be used, the purchasing strategy can serve as a supporting document for future procurement strategies or contract management methods.
