kalloppbestillinger

Kalloppbestillinger is a term used in Norwegian procurement and supply chain practice to refer to call-off orders issued against a pre-negotiated framework agreement with a supplier. The concept centers on requisitions that are placed over time as needs arise, without renegotiating terms for each individual purchase.

In a typical setup, an organization enters into a rammeavtale (framework agreement) with one or more suppliers. The framework defines the general terms, pricing, delivery conditions, and performance standards. A kalloppbestilling is then created to specify the exact quantities, delivery dates, and sometimes the delivery location within the period covered by the framework. The intention is to streamline procurement, reduce administrative overhead, and ensure consistent pricing and conditions across multiple orders.

Key characteristics include that the price and fundamental terms are already established in the framework; the call-off is primarily a logistics and administration step to convert a planned or forecasted need into a concrete purchase. Lead times, minimum or maximum quantities, and delivery schedules are typically governed by the framework agreement, with the call-off needing to comply with those constraints. Invoices and goods receipts are processed as with regular purchases, but the terms are generally aligned with the pre-agreed framework.

The term is most commonly encountered in public sector procurement and in large organizations with standardized supplier arrangements. Related concepts include rammeavtale, avropspraxis, and other forms of call-off or avropsbestillinger used in various jurisdictions. Since practices vary by organization and country, specific processes should be consultd in internal procurement policies.
