Enter into and follow up a purchase agreement

You lack a framework agreement

If you want to buy something that is not covered by a relevant framework agreement, you must consider whether a procurement process is needed to draw up a new agreement or whether it’s just a single-purchase case.

1. Beregning av anskaffelsens verdi, jf. FOA § 5-4

   Anskaffelsens anslåtte verdi beregnes på grunnlag av oppdragsgivers anslag av det samlede beløp oppdragsgiver (hele OsloMet) kan komme til å betale, eks. mva for de kontrakter som utgjør anskaffelsen.

2. You can make a single purchase without any agreement if:

   • The cost of the purchase is under NOK 100,000
   • We don't need to repeat the purchase

   How to complete the single purchase

   • Go to My Order and select "Enter Requests".
   • Select the appropriate categories in the system, describe your request and submit. Your local purchaser will then assist you.
   • The following process includes checking with several providers before making the final order. It is not necessary to document the competition.

3. You must initiate a formal procurement process if:

   • The cost of the purchase is over NOK 100,000 before VAT
   • There is no framework agreement for what you need to buy

4. Further process for purchases of NOK 100,000 - 500,000

   • Guidance, guidelines and standard templates that the local purchasers must use are located under templates for purchasing and finance. Do you need access to the templates and purchaser guidance, please contact us at Section for Purchasing.
   • The Public Procurement Act, the Procurement Regulations part 1 and internal guidelines must be complied with in order to ensure a professional implementation.
   • Please contact the Section for Procurements for advice and guidance if necessary.
   • Otherwise, the process is carried out just as for purchases of over NOK 500,000 (read below):

5. Further process for purchases over NOK 500,000

   • If you need to make a purchase of over NOK 500,000 and there is no relevant framework agreement, you must contact the Section for Procurements. See step 2: Report the need and wait.

   • Carrying out a procurement process will take several months, so plan the purchase well in advance.
   • The process entails that a competition is to be carried out in which the Public Procurement Act, relevant regulations and internal guidelines must be followed.
   • Check out the guidelines for procurement processes of over NOK 500.000 (pdf).
