Procurement and purchasing
Here you can find information about how to do when you need to buy something.
KTH is a government agency. Therefore, everyone at KTH is obliged to follow the Public Procurement Act (LOU) and KTH's guidelines (Swedish) and procedures for procurement.
Buying goods or services? Follow these steps, in numerical order
For questions about purchasing and procurement, contact the purchasing manager for the school/VS.
1. You should use goods/services procured by KTH, via our own contracts and/or contracts procured specifically for your school. Start by looking in the contract catalog (Swedish) or Wisum (Swedish). It is the responsibility of the school/VS departments' staff to place the orders in Wisum. The procurement group does not place orders in Wisum.
If you cannot find what you are looking for there, go to point 2.
2. Check whether the product/service is included in a government framework agreement, see avropa.se (Swedish).
Note that in some framework agreements there is a type of procedure called renewed competitive tendering (FKU). Contact the purchasing manager for the school/VS to get help.
3. If what you are looking for is not included in KTH's agreements or government framework agreements, you have to make a procurement according to KTH's rules. How you do this depends on the amount.
