Request for Procurement Support (BOU)

Contact the Purchasing and Procurement Unit already in the planning phase if you need support in a procurement process.

If the value of your purchase exceeds 100,000 SEK for the entire KI, purchases must always be conducted through the Purchasing and Procurement Unit.

Request for Procurement Support

To ensure a rapidly conducted procurement procedure, the request for procurement support (BOU) should be sent to the Purchasing and Procurement Unit during the planning phase of the acquisition. There are significant quality and time gains in initiating collaboration between the Purchasing and Procurement Unit and the purchaser (subject matter expert) long before the desired delivery time or contract start date. The Purchasing and Procurement Unit needs sufficient lead time for planning. Otherwise, the delivery of goods/services cannot be guaranteed within the specified timeframe.
