Kjøpsbaserte

Kjøpsbaserte refers to a financial model based on purchase volume, where companies are allocated contracts or awards based on their past purchase history with a supplier or a vendor. This approach is often used in public procurement, particularly in Norway, where it is a common practice.

In a kjøpsbasert system, the company's purchase volume over a certain period is used as the primary criterion for awarding contracts. The volume can be measured in terms of monetary value or the actual quantity of goods or services purchased. The idea behind this approach is to incentivize companies to make larger purchases with approved suppliers, as this increases the likelihood of being awarded future contracts.

Kjøpsbaserte systems are often implemented in conjunction with other evaluation criteria, such as price, quality, and delivery terms. However, the primary focus is usually on the company's history of purchases with the supplier. The system can be beneficial for suppliers who have a strong track record of delivering goods or services to the buyer, as it provides a clear and predictable route to securing future contracts.

While kjøpsbaserte systems can provide stability and predictability for suppliers, they can also be criticized for favoring established suppliers over new entrants. This can limit competition and innovation in the market, as new suppliers may struggle to enter the market due to the existing infrastructure and relationships between buyers and suppliers. Despite these criticisms, kjøpsbaserte systems remain a common practice in public procurement, particularly in countries with a strong focus on cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
