Tilvejebringen

Tilvejebringen is a Danish noun meaning the act or process of providing, supplying, or making something available. It is commonly used in formal and administrative contexts to refer to furnishing items that are needed or requested, such as information, documents, funding, or services. In legal, governmental, and business language, tilvejebringen emphasizes the obligation to provide what has been required or promised.

Etymology and usage are straightforward in Danish: the term is formed from til, meaning to or toward, and vejebringe, meaning to provide or supply. The noun tilvejebringen is often paired with what is being provided, for example tilvejebringen af oplysninger (the provision of information) or tilvejebringen af dokumenter (the procurement or furnishing of documents). It frequently appears in formal correspondence, regulations, contracts, and reporting.

In practical use, tilvejebringen denotes a concrete action carried out by a party to satisfy a demand or duty. It is sometimes contrasted with fremskaffelse, another Danish term for obtaining or procuring resources; tilvejebringen tends to stress making something available directly to another party, while fremskaffelse can emphasize the act of obtaining it more generally.

See also: tilvejebringelse (the act of providing), fremskaffelse (procurement, acquisition). The term remains common in official texts, administrative procedures, and compliance language where the timely and proper tilvejebringen of information or documents is required.
