Purchases over 700,000 SEK
If you want to purchase something over 700,000 SEK and no agreements exist, you need to conduct a procurement, and it's the contract value that determines the procurement procedure.
1. Calculate the contract value
If it concerns equipment, include all costs over the estimated lifespan such as consumables, reagents, and any options such as accessories and service agreements after the warranty period.
How to calculate and what to consider is described on the Staff Pages:
Calculating the contract value - Staff Pages
2. If the contract value is between 700,000 and 1,546,202 SEK
Then you should conduct a procurement under the threshold value that requires advertising.
Inform KC Purchase for support in the process.
Contact the Purchasing and Procurement department for assistance. The hourly rate is 730 SEK, and the number of hours required depends on complexity. For the purchase of a standard instrument without special adaptations and where market research is conducted by the department, expect 10-20 working hours.
The procurement request form is available on the page Procurement over threshold with notice obligation:
Porcurement request - Staff Pages (lu.se)
