Win Hospital Tenders with Quality Patient ID Wristbands

Published On: July 28th, 2025

In hospital procurement, selecting Patient ID Wristbands (also known as hospital ID wristbands or patient identification wristbands) involves far more than a simple price comparison. Hospitals must carefully weigh factors such as cost, durability, print clarity, barcode compatibility, and system integration to ensure patient safety and operational efficiency.

As a trusted patient wristband manufacturer, FTGO has helped thousands of distributors worldwide secure hospital contracts. With over 14 years of manufacturing experience and a strong track record of delivering customized, high-quality, and cost-effective solutions, FTGO enables its partners to win — and retain — healthcare tenders through long-term value creation.

Understanding the Hospital Tender Process: Why the Right Product Matters

The tender process for hospital patient wristbands typically involves four key stages:

1. Needs Assessment

Hospitals begin by evaluating their internal requirements:

  • Types of wristbands (e.g., allergy alerts, fall risk, DNR)

  • Estimated quantities

  • Required features (barcode scanning, antimicrobial coating, thermal printing)

  • Compatibility with existing systems (e.g., barcode scanners, EHR platforms)

  • Expected durability and impact on smoother patient admissions

2. Supplier Selection

Hospitals may rely on existing suppliers or open the process to competitive tenders. This includes:

Key evaluation criteria:

  • Product quality: durability, smudge resistance, fade resistance, and chemical compatibility

  • System compatibility: barcode formats, thermal printers, patient wristband printers

  • Total cost vs. value

  • Experience in healthcare supply

  • Reliable logistics and supply chain

  • Sustainability practices

3. Bidding & Negotiation

Hospitals review submitted proposals and compare offers. Negotiations may cover:

  • Pricing

  • Customization options

  • Delivery schedules

4. Implementation & Ongoing Management

Once awarded:

  • The hospital integrates the wristbands into clinical workflows

  • Staff are trained on usage

  • Supply levels and inventory are managed continuously
