Flevoland, the newest province, grew from reclaimed land into a region of about 456,000 people, with Almere as its largest city and Lelystad as its capital.
Created on 1 January 1986, Flevoland consists almost entirely of land reclaimed from the sea. The capital is Lelystad, while Almere, home to about 230,000 people, is by far the largest city. Hospital care centres on the Flevo Hospital in Almere, and Antonius runs an outpatient clinic in Emmeloord. Schokland, the country's first World Heritage site, lies in the Noordoostpolder.
MediGear is a UK-registered medical equipment distributor and B2B marketplace working with verified manufacturers and healthcare buyers in more than 80 countries. Its partner program opens that catalogue to businesses in Flevoland selling to Flevo Hospital, outpatient clinics, general practices, nursing homes, and a fast-growing home care sector.
Three program tracks are open to businesses in Flevoland. Different business models, the same catalogue behind them — the right one depends on how much of the transaction you want to own.
Agents introduce qualified hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams to MediGear. The role focuses on generating opportunities and connecting buyers with the team; MediGear handles quotations, supply, documentation and fulfilment. Earnings are commission-based on confirmed sales; no purchasing or inventory is required, and MediGear provides sales materials and product support. Almere sits within commuting distance of Amsterdam, so an agent there can serve the province and its busy neighbour. Home care organisations and practices value a hospital equipment supplier in Flevoland that delivers within a day.
Distributors represent MediGear in an agreed country, region or territory and actively develop the local market — the whole of Flevoland, sometimes extended into neighbouring North Holland. Distributors purchase products for onward supply, and territorial rights may be exclusive or non-exclusive. This includes market development, commercial support, and regulatory and import coordination.
Resellers purchase at wholesale and resell independently through an existing medical business, online store, sales network or customer base. Order quantities are flexible, and you sell on your own terms to your own customers. Resellers operate independently without territorial or official distribution rights, so there is no territorial commitment or market-development obligation.
Registration with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce and a working healthcare route are the entry requirements. Applications commonly come from:
Equipment distributors and importers already supplying public and private hospitals
Independent sales agents with contacts in theatre, imaging, pathology or dental
Online medical supply stores and e-commerce operators
Biomedical engineering firms adding equipment sales to service contracts
Practice fit-out, day surgery and healthcare project companies
Independent treatment centre, dental and laboratory equipment resellers
Growth sets the pace here. Being ready for new practices every year gives a medical equipment supplier in Flevoland an advantage. Young families and new districts also create demand for dental and medical equipment in Almere.
Competitive margins. Partner-level commercial terms apply across the catalogue, with performance recognised for partners who hit agreed targets.
Full product catalogue. Certified equipment across diagnostics, surgical and therapeutic, lab and pathology, sterilisation, hospital furniture, dental, ENT and ophthalmic, rehabilitation, orthopaedic, cardiology, gastroenterology, neonatal, dermatology, veterinary and spare parts.
Sourcing and quotation support. Send an enquiry and the team sources the product, negotiates with the manufacturer and returns a documented quotation — including items outside the current catalogue.
Direct partnerships team. Order queries, supplier negotiations, logistics coordination, and after-sales issues go straight to the team by email, so you can focus on selling rather than chasing suppliers.
Marketing support. Co-branded brochures, digital assets, product imagery and joint campaigns you can put in front of buyers in Flevoland.
Regulatory support. Country-specific import guidance, certification documentation and connections to local regulatory consultants for market entry questions.
Medical devices sold anywhere in the European Union fall under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, which fixes classification, conformity assessment and post-market duties before any supply arrangement begins. The Health and Youth Care Inspectorate oversees supervision and enforcement, including market surveillance and vigilance; it publishes guidance.
The Netherlands has required manufacturers and importers established in the country to notify their activity nationally alongside European obligations, with notification handled through the government service at Farmatec. Dutch-language instructions are expected for devices supplied to lay users.
Third-country arrivals are entered for customs with Dutch Customs under Union Customs Code procedures. MediGear is not the economic operator of record for partner products and does not give regulatory advice.

New health centres in Almere and Lelystad are fitted out with ultrasound machines, patient monitors, and ECG equipment, and the Flevo Hospital renews imaging on planned cycles. New practices add orders for medical devices and supplies in Flevoland each year, often starting with refurbished medical equipment.
The Noordoostpolder relies on road deliveries of medical supplies for Emmeloord, and Urk, a close-knit fishing community, keeps local practices consistently busy.
The share of older residents is projected to rise faster here than anywhere else in the country, so home care equipment in Flevoland is an expanding category. Farms across the polders buy first aid supplies and occupational health equipment.
This page is published for general business and information purposes and is not an offer of partnership. MediGear reviews all applications, and approval is not guaranteed. Any partnership that proceeds is governed by the written terms agreed between MediGear and the partner. Product availability, category coverage, territory arrangements, commercial terms and any commission or margin structure vary by application and may change. The regulatory information here is general information about the Dutch framework and is not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements under Regulation (EU) 2017/745, and the national notification and language provisions applied in the Netherlands, depend on the device, its classification and the role each party takes in the supply chain. Partner businesses remain responsible for confirming what applies to their own products, and should obtain qualified regulatory, customs or legal advice where required.
Apply with your business details, the provinces you cover and the track that interests you. The MediGear partnerships team reviews every application and will come back to you to discuss it.
The program is open to companies registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce and with a clear route to healthcare buyers in Flevoland: equipment distributors and importers, independent sales agents, online medical supply stores, biomedical engineering firms, practice fit-out companies, treatment centres, and dental or laboratory resellers. Speciality experience carries more weight than company size.
Three. Sales agents introduce hospitals, clinics, distributors and procurement teams and earn commission on confirmed sales without holding stock. Authorised distributors represent MediGear in an agreed territory, purchase at distributor level and develop the local market. Resellers buy at wholesale and resell independently through a business they already run, without territorial rights or commitments.
No. Joining is free for businesses in Flevoland. No registration charges, subscriptions, or upfront payments are required to become an agent, distributor, or reseller. Distributors and resellers purchase the products they sell, and partners arrange their own local delivery, storage, and any marketing beyond the assets MediGear provides.
Agents earn commission on confirmed sales, not a retainer. The rate depends on the product category, the order value, and the volume you bring, and we confirm it in writing before you begin introducing buyers. Because agents hold no stock and carry no inventory risk, they earn only upon completed orders.
Exclusive territorial rights are available to qualified distributors who can demonstrate market reach, financial capability and alignment with MediGear standards, and are assessed case by case. We also offer non-exclusive distribution, which is more common for partners entering a new product category. With six municipalities and manageable distances, a medical equipment distributor in Flevoland generally holds the entire province.
Partners receive onboarding, product knowledge materials, regulatory guidance for their market, sales tools and co-branded marketing assets. The partnerships team handles order queries, supplier negotiations and logistics coordination, including certification and customs documentation for inbound consignments.
The Netherlands has required manufacturers and importers established in the country to notify their activity nationally, alongside the duties Regulation (EU) 2017/745 places on each role. The device itself must carry a CE marking before being placed on the market, with supervision by the Health and Youth Care Inspectorate. MediGear is not the economic operator of record for partner products.
Dutch-language instructions for use are expected for devices supplied to lay users, and tender documents frequently require them for professional devices too. The precise scope depends on the device, its class and its intended user, so confirm the requirement for each product before bidding.
