When public authorities buy goods and services, it must be done from procured agreements. The process for signing contracts or framework agreements takes place through procurement governed by the Public Procurement Act (2016: 1145).
Procurement project during the summer of 2024
We are soon entering a period of holidays and summer vacation for both employees and suppliers. This means that procurement requests received after week 17 do not have time to be advertised and ended with an awarding decision before the start of the summer holidays.
Assignments that are received after week 17 may be started, but the procurement will be announced in August at the earliest.
If there is no contract or framework agreement
If there are no procured framework agreements or contracts for the products or services you wish to purchase, a procurement must be carried out.
It is the total cost of your planned purchase that determines how you proceed.
Step 1. Calculate contract value
The first step is to calculate the contract value. The value of the contract is the total amount included in the purchase and that will be paid to the supplier. The value must include the contract's total term, incl. shipping, installation, accessories and any extensions and options.
The value is calculated excluding VAT.
Step 2. Select procurement procedure
The total value of the purchase determines which procurement procedure is relevant.
