leverantörsåterkoppling

Leverantörsåte is a term sometimes used in Swedish procurement literature to denote the registered seat or principal place of business of a supplier. The word is a compound of leverantör (supplier) and säte (seat or headquarters), and while not universally standardized, it is commonly understood to refer to the legal address tied to a supplier's corporate entity. The concept matters in procurement because the supplier's seat helps establish the proper legal jurisdiction for contracts, determines tax and regulatory obligations, and identifies the corporate entity that can be held accountable for performance or breaches.

In practice, records of leverantörsåte accompany other supplier data such as the official company name, organization number, VAT number, and contact details. Onboarding systems and supplier databases typically require the registered address and the seat to verify identity, perform due diligence, screen against sanctions lists, and assess risk. For cross-border procurements within the European Union, the seat can influence which country's rules apply and where legal actions would be pursued.

Limitations include that some entities use multiple premises or operate through branches, and the registered seat may differ from the address where goods are produced or services delivered. Data quality is therefore essential, requiring regular verification against official registries such as Bolagsverket or other national corporate registries.

Related concepts include corporate domicile, registered office, principal place of business, supplier due diligence, and contract enforceability.
