kontrakteringar

Kontrakteringar is a Swedish noun (plural) meaning the act or process of contracting, i.e., forming or entering into contracts. The term is used in business, law, and administration to describe activities related to contract formation and management. Core aspects include negotiation, drafting and review of agreements, signing, performance monitoring, modification, renewal, and termination of contractual arrangements. It is commonly encountered in procurement and supply-chain contexts, service or construction contracts, and outsourcing projects, including subcontracting arrangements where a primary contractor engages subcontractors.

In practice, kontrakteringar encompasses the lifecycle of a contract, from initial negotiation and due diligence to execution and ongoing governance, amendments, and eventual termination or renewal. The term can appear in Swedish-language documents that address procurement, project management, or corporate governance.

In linguistics, the standard term for contractions is kontraktioner; kontrakteringar is not the usual term for this sense.

Etymology: derived from kontrakt (contract) with the -ering noun-forming suffix to indicate the activity of contracting.
