What Is a Procurement Tool (Upphandlingsverktyg, Sweden)?
This is a Swedish procurement term. An electronic system, also called a procurement platform, that helps contracting authorities run and manage procurements.
Do suppliers need an account in the procurement tool?
Often, to be able to ask questions and submit bids. Submitting a bid is normally free of charge for the supplier.
What is the difference between a procurement tool and an advertising database?
The advertising database publishes the notice. The procurement tool handles the procurement itself. Many systems do both.
What should you do if the system fails just before the deadline?
Contact the authority and the system's support immediately and document the fault. Ideally, submit well in advance, as it is generally the supplier's responsibility to make sure the bid arrives on time.
