Santiago de Compostela, 14 October 2026 — The Xunta de Galicia has put the supply of 15 treatment chairs for the Hospital de Día Oncolóxico of the Área Sanitaria de Ferrol out to tender. The tender budget is 60,000 euros. Interested companies can submit their bids by 28 October 2026 .
According to the Xunta de Galicia, the new furniture is intended to improve patients’ comfort and safety during oncology treatment. The chairs are intended for use at the day hospital in Ferrol which brings together outpatient therapies. The notice was published through the regional government’s official information channels and the procurement platform of Consellería de Sanidade .
The tender falls under Servizo Galego de Saúde (SERGAS). The procurement follows the standard procedure for healthcare supplies in the Autonomous Community. The notice specifies the quantity and budget, without publicly providing detailed technical specifications or delivery deadlines. The announcement makes no mention of possible co-financing or related investment in oncology care.
With this measure, the regional government is addressing an immediate need in the day hospital of the Ferrol area. Treatment chairs with armrests are essential equipment for longer outpatient therapies; their condition affects comfort, stability and ease of use during infusions or observation periods. For potential suppliers, the deadline of the end of October is tight but customary; the clinic would be expected to integrate the chairs smoothly into its daily routine after delivery. The administration has not yet specified dates for putting them into service.
The Área Sanitaria de Ferrol comprises several facilities, including the public hospital complex. Consolidating and renewing equipment in day units is an ongoing task for SERGAS, aimed at ensuring that services remain operational. In this case, the immediate benefit to the oncology day hospital is the main focus. Further steps – such as awarding the contract or any savings achieved through competition – depend on how the procurement procedure unfolds and remain open.
In its announcement, the regional government points to the aim of strengthening patient safety. The published summary provides no further information on the method for selecting and evaluating bids, such as qualitative criteria in addition to price.
