What Is an Entitled Purchaser (Avropsberättigad, Sweden)?
This is a Swedish procurement term. A contracting authority named in a framework agreement as entitled to place call-off orders under it; a single framework can list several entitled purchasers.
Can new organisations become entitled purchasers during the contract term?
In principle, no. The group of entitled purchasers must be identifiable from the start, because it affects the volumes suppliers assume when they bid.
Does an entitled purchaser have to buy from the framework agreement?
It depends on the framework agreement. Many framework agreements carry no obligation to call off, while others include commitments to use the agreement for certain needs.
Why does it matter to the supplier who the entitled purchasers are?
It determines the potential business volume and which customers the supplier can reach through the framework agreement, which affects both pricing and the decision to bid.
