Procurement and purchasing

​KTH is a government agency. Therefore, everyone at KTH is required to comply with the Swedish Public Procurement Act (LOU, SFS 2026:1145), as well as KTH’s guidelines  and routines for procurement.

Purchasing goods or serivces? Follow the steps below:


1. You must use goods and services procured by KTH through our existing agreements and/or agreements procured specifically for your school. Start by checking the Avtalskatalogen  or Wisum . 

Staff in the schools and administration (VS) are responsible for placing orders in Wisum. The Procurement Group does not place orders in Wisum. 

If you cannot find what you are looking for, proceed to step 2.

2. Check whether the goods or services are covered by a government-wide framework agreement through avropa.se . Please note that some framework agreements involve a procedure known as a renewed competitive tendering process (FKU= Förnyad konkurrensutsättning in Swedish). In such cases, contact the procurement officer for your school or VS department . 

3. If the goods or services you are looking for are not covered by either a KTH agreement or a government-wide framework agreement, you must conduct a procurement in accordance with KTH’s guidelines. The procedure depends on the value of the purchase and these are the different threshold amounts.

Direct award procurement: SEK 1–99,999 (excluding VAT)
