Purchasing rules - general

LOU - Public Procurement Act

The Public Procurement Act is intended to regulate and protect the use of public funds, ensure that the competitive opportunities that exist are utilized, and ensure that the procurement is carried out commercially. Regulates purchases made by state/government agencies.

Make your purchases from contracted suppliers as far as possible

The only valid reason for using a supplier, with which Lund University does not have an agreement, is that the desired product is not included in any of the existing agreements, or that you do not find anything from these suppliers that corresponds to your need. A lower price is never a valid excuse to choose a supplier who is not procured, over one with a contract.

A list of Contracted suppliers is available in the purchase folder - Department of chemistry Sharepoint (login with Lucat). 

All orders must have an approval in advance

All orders must have an approval in advance by the project manager/supervisor.
