Framework agreement
The framework agreement regulates which goods and services the supplier will be able to deliver. It also speaks of the prices and commercial terms (eg delivery terms, warranties, payment terms) that will apply.
To find which framework agreements KTH has, use KTH:s contract catalouge and/or KTH's electronic ordering system WISUM . If you do not find the information in Wisum any of them, you have to look at The Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency agreement at avropa.se .
All orders must be made via KTH's electronic ordering system WISUM
Renewed Competition
Renewed competition (FKU) is used as a method in some of KTH's framework agreements. Contact the purchasing manager to get access the information and documentation needed.
Exception from purchase from a framework agreement
Direct procurement can never be made if the product/service is on a framework agreement except if there are exceptional reasons. Such reasons may be:
- If you have an experimental set up or a series of experiments that have been running for a long time with the same products.
- If you have to use a specific product due to technical reasons or because it is sold only by one company.
- It is NOT OK to buy a product outside the agreement only because it is cheaper.
It is the Head of school that approves whether direct procurement can be used or not. The decision should always be in writing, contact the school's purchasing manager to get access to the template.
