erillisostoon

Erillisostoon, often translated as separate purchasing or independent procurement, refers to a method of acquiring goods or services where a public sector entity conducts its procurement processes distinctly and independently from other potential entities. This contrasts with joint procurement, where multiple organizations collaborate to purchase together, aiming for economies of scale or shared expertise.

In an erillisostoon scenario, each organization handles its own tender processes, contract negotiations, and supplier management. This allows for greater flexibility and tailoring of procurement to the specific needs and priorities of the individual entity. It can also be advantageous when organizations have significantly different requirements or operate in diverse markets.

However, erillisostoon may not always achieve the most favorable pricing compared to collaborative purchasing, as the volume of the individual purchase is lower. The administrative burden of conducting separate procurement processes can also be higher for each participating organization. The decision to utilize erillisostoon is typically made after an analysis of the potential benefits, such as customization and control, against the potential drawbacks, such as lost economies of scale and increased administrative effort.
