Tilldelnings

Tilldelning is a Swedish term that denotes the allocation or allotment of resources, funds, tasks, or decisions. It refers to the act of assigning something to a recipient or purpose, and it is used across administrative, financial, and operational contexts.

In public procurement, tilldelning specifically refers to the formal awarding of a contract or grant to a bidder or applicant. The tilldelningsbeslut is the decision document that confirms the selected supplier, explains the evaluation criteria and scoring, and specifies contract terms. In Sweden and many other jurisdictions, the tilldelning process is designed to ensure transparency, competition, and non-discrimination; unsuccessful bidders may challenge the decision within a defined period, and notices of award are often published to maintain openness.

In budgeting and accounting, tilldelning describes the allocation of resources, such as distributing a budget among departments or allocating shared costs to cost centers. In project management, the term can refer to assigning resources—personnel, equipment, or time—to specific activities or work packages. The concept also appears in logistics and operations planning, where capacity is allocated to meet demand or to production orders.

Etymology and usage: the term derives from the Swedish verb tilldela, meaning to assign or allot; tilldelning denotes the act or result of allocation. See also allocation, assignment, grant, and award.
