upphandlingsstöd

Upphandlingsstöd refers to services and resources designed to assist organizations in navigating the complex process of public procurement. In Sweden, this support is often provided by government agencies or specialized consultants. The primary goal of upphandlingsstöd is to ensure that public sector entities procure goods, services, and construction projects in a compliant, efficient, and cost-effective manner, adhering to relevant laws and regulations such as the Public Procurement Act (LOU).

These support services can encompass a wide range of assistance, including guidance on procurement strategies, drafting tender documents, evaluating bids, and managing contracts. Organizations may seek upphandlingsstöd to improve their internal procurement processes, achieve better value for money, or to ensure they meet legal requirements. The availability of such support can be particularly beneficial for smaller municipalities or organizations with limited procurement expertise.

Furthermore, upphandlingsstöd often includes educational components, such as training courses and information seminars, to equip staff with the necessary knowledge and skills. It aims to foster transparency and fair competition within the public procurement market, ultimately benefiting both public authorities and the suppliers who wish to engage with them. The objective is to streamline the procurement process, reduce administrative burdens, and promote sustainable and responsible public spending.
