A Web-based Public Procurement System

Karahan Turan, Hamide 01 May 2004 (has links) (PDF)
This study focuses on developing and implementing a web-based public procurement system. As one innovative way of enhancing public procurement, an attempt to develop and implement electronic tendering system is to be made. In designing the system, not only technological aspects but also issues related to public procurement process improvement are considered. As an analysis and design approach, object oriented methodology was chosen and UML was used. Java as a development language was preferred because the resulting system is expected to be portable. This study also puts forward propositions as to how the government should perform direct purchases to ensure that both public and private sector benefit from e-Procurement to achieve full value.

Veřejné zakázky na municipální úrovni / Public procurement at the local government level

ŠTEMBEROVÁ, Štěpánka January 2014 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate public procurement practices and elaborate recommended procurement procedures. The resulting part of the work is devoted to a research of selected municipal contracts in terms of volume and structure. It also shows the development of these contracts in the last five years. The research method for achieving the main aim of the work is a case study. Using two real public contracts is demonstrated a possible procurement process. The research via case studies does not serve to produce a generally valid conclusions. However, it is possible to draw several findings from the examples of public contracts. These findings are applicable to other municipal public procurement.

En studie av Växjö kommuns hållbarhetsarbete i upphandlingsprocessen / A study of Växjö municipality sustainability work in the public procurement process

Waldén, Anton, Persberg, Filip, Marklund, Oscar, Karlsson, Tim January 2018 (has links)
Bakgrund och problem: Offentlig förvaltning- och upphandling omsätter årligen omfattande summor i Sverige. Totalt spenderas kring 634 miljarder per år av svenska kommuner på inköp och upphandlingar som främst regleras av EU-direktiv och LOU. Långsiktig hållbarhet är någonting som ligger i tiden och Växjö kommuns marknadsföring med slogan ” Europas grönaste stad” kräver att kommunen har ett genomgående hållbarhetstänk i sin verksamhet. Offentlig upphandling är ett av de viktigaste styrmedlen för att uppnå samhällhällspolitiska mål. För att kunna uppfylla detta är det essentiellt att ställa rimliga och hållbara krav i upphandlingsprocessen. Vad som är det är inte alltid glasklart och ofta lättare sagt än gjort. Hur nyttjar Växjö kommun den offentliga upphandlingsprocessen för att få upprätthålla en social, miljömässig och ekonomisk långsiktig hållbarhet? Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att komma med förslag som utvecklar och förbättrar Växjö kommuns hållbarhetsarbete i upphandlingsprocessen, med utgångspunkt i teori kring hållbart inköp. Metod: Studien tillämpar ett positivistiskt vetenskapligt synsätt med deduktion som angreppssätt. Djupare förståelse för inköp och hållbarhet var två av målsättningarna med studien varpå den är att betrakta som av mer kvalitativ karaktär. Detta har genomförts genom en fallstudie och diverse intervjuer. Slutsats: Växjö kommun bedriver ett gediget och kontinuerligt hållbarhetsarbete i sin upphandlingsprocess och värnar om att behålla positionen som ”Europas grönaste stad”. Detta arbete fungerar i stora drag väl, författarna har dock identifierat diverse problem i upphandlingsprocessens olika steg. Dessa problem innefattar bland annat bristfällig uppföljning, otydlig ansvarsfördelning samt tidsbrist. / Background and problem: Public management- and procurement in Sweden every years converts substantial amount of money. Every year a total spend of 634 billion SEK is being used by Swedish municipalities on public procurement which is mostly regulated by EU-directives and the LOU. Long-term sustainability is really something up-to-date and Växjös marketing with their slogan “Greenest city of Europe” really demand that the municipality has a thoroughgoing sustainability thinking in their activities. Public procurement is one of the most vital instrument to achieve sociopolitical goals. To be able to achieve this it is essential to create reasonable and sustainable demands in the public procurement process. What this involve is not always crystal clear and easier said than done. How does Växjö municipality utilize th e public procurement process to maintain a social, environmental and economic long-term sustainability? Purpose: The purpose with this study is to come up with suggestions on how to develop and improve Växjö municipality sustainable work in the public procurement process, with the vantage point in theory about sustainable procurement. Method: This study practice a positivistic scientific approach with deduction as a methodic approach. Deeper understanding regarding procurement and sustainability were two of the main ambitions with this study upon which it is to review as of qualitative character. This has accomplished by a case study and various interviews. Conclusion: Växjö municipality conducts a solidly and continuously sustainable work in their public procurement process and are urgent to defend their position as “Greenest city of Europe”. This work function well broadly, the authors have however identified some problems in the different steps of the public procurement process. These problems consist of inadequate follow up, unclear division of responsibilities and lack of time.

Att ställa miljökrav inom upphandling, en utmaning? : En fallstudie av fem svenska kommuner

Forsgren, Emma, Pethman, Sofia January 2020 (has links)
I Sverige upphandlar den offentliga sektorn produkter och tjänster för ungefär 680 miljarder kronor varje år. År 2016 genererade detta utsläpp av 12,3 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter vilket kan jämföras med Sveriges totala mängd utsläpp år 2018 som var 51,8 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter. Offentliga upphandlingar bör bidra till hållbar utveckling genom att analysera inköpsprocessen på flera nivåer. Ansvarig myndighet för upphandlingar inom det offentliga är Upphandlingsmyndigheten som både har verktyg och metoder för att minska inköps- och upphandlingsprocessen miljöpåverkan. Då kunskap inom detta område är mycket begränsad var syftet med denna studie att belysa frågan gällande de utmaningar som finns med att ställa miljökrav inom kommunala upphandlingar. Studien genomfördes som en flerfallstudie med fem falldeltagare. Den datainsamling som krävts för att besvara studiens frågeställning har skett genom intervjuer med de deltagande kommunerna. Intervjuerna som genomfördes var av semistrukturerad karaktär och i varierande utförande. De deltagande kommunerna i studien menade samtliga att utmaningarna i olika utsträckning handlar om bristen på kunskap, engagemang och resurser och att utmaningarna kan variera mellan olika kommuner. Samtliga deltagande kommuner menade att miljökrav skall ställas i ett tidigt skede och att uppföljning är en mycket viktig del i arbetet med miljökrav. Deltagarna menade att storleken på kommunen kan ha en betydelse för dess möjlighet att ställa miljökrav, bland annat på grund av tillgången till resurser. Gällande lagstiftning menade de flesta kommunerna att denna inte påverkade deras möjligheter att ställa miljökrav. De övergripande förändringar som kommunerna menade skulle kunna underlätta arbetet med miljökrav inom upphandlingarna var att få tillgång till en stödfunktion vilken i sak också kunde variera beroende på kommun. Sammanfattningsvis visade denna studie att alla deltagande kommuner fann utmaningar inom arbetet med att ställa miljökrav inom upphandlingar och att det krävs förändring för att prestera bättre ur ett miljömässigt perspektiv. Detta bland annat genom det övergripande behovet av en miljövetande stödfunktion för att i längden kunna utföra dessa uppgifter utan att urholka den egna verksamhetens grundläggande arbete. / In Sweden, the public sector procures products and services for approximately SEK 680 billion each year. In 2016, this generated emissions of 12.3 million tons of CO2 eq. In year 2018 Sweden's total amount of emissions was 51.8 million tons of CO2 eq. Public procurement should contribute to sustainable development by analyzing the purchasing process on several levels. The responsible authority for public procurement is Upphandlingsmyndigheten, which has both tools and methods for influencing the procurement process to have less environmental impact. Since knowledge in this area is very limited, the purpose of this study was to shed light on the challenges of setting environmental requirements in municipal procurement. The study was conducted as a case study with several case participants. The data collection required to answer the research question was conducted through interviews with the participating municipalities. The interviews conducted were of a semi-structured nature and varied in approach. Participating municipalities in this study all claimed that the challenges to different extent were about the lack of knowledge, commitment, and resources and that all of these could vary depending on the municipalities. All participating municipalities claimed that environmental requirements should be set at an early stage and that follow-up is a very important part of the process of environmental requirements. The participants claimed that the size of the municipality may have a bearing on its ability to set environmental requirements, partly because of the availability of resources. In current legislation, most municipalities claimed that this did not affect their ability to set environmental requirements. The overall changes that the municipalities claimed would make the process of environmental requirements easier to use in the procurement process would be to add a supporting function which would vary depending on the municipalities needs. In summary, this study showed that all participating municipalities deal with different challenges in the process of using environmental requirements in procurement and that change is required to perform better from an environmental perspective. This is partly due to the overall need for an environmentally aware support function that can carry out the environmental requirement process in the long term without eroding the core purpose of the organization.

Managing the procurement process during scale-up: A case study of a European Battery Manufacturer / Hantering av inköpsprocessen under expansion: En fallstudie av en europeisk batteritillverkare

Bergqvist, Lisa, Holm Öste, Sofia January 2023 (has links)
The European battery market is in rapid growth and the industry actors are ramping up production as well as exploring international expansion opportunities. However, due to the relative novelty of the industry in Europe, there is a lack of benchmark companies and established frameworks for successful expansion. Existing studies in this field primarily focus on strategic solutions such as sourcing strategies and supplier relationship management, neglecting the utilization of supporting operative functions. Although some studies acknowledge the significance of these supporting functions, there is a lack of research providing models for their utilization. This research gap motivates the aim of this study to address this issue and contribute to the existing literature. The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive and adaptable expansion strategy that European battery manufacturers can employ when expanding their production facilities, while ensuring a high-quality procurement function. This was met by collecting qualitative data through interviews. The interviews were primarily with respondents from the case company, supplemented by inputs from relevant external participants. By conducting a case study focusedon the procurement department, valuable insights were gained, and the identified expansion strategy can serve as a valuable resource for industry practitioners. The main finding of this research is the battery manufacturers need for a structured expansion step model that outlines both the execution steps and their sequential order. The steps of the framework are: (1) Assure Management Support, (2) Create a Dedicated Expansion Team, (3) Adjust & Consolidate Systems, (4) Define Roles & Responsibilities, (5) Train & Incentives Employees, (6) Control Access Management, (7) Create & Maintain Master Data, and lastly, (8) Initial Supplier Contact. / Batterimarknaden i Europa växer snabbt. Företagen ökar sin produktion samtidigt som de undersöker möjligheter till att expandera internationellt. Vidare är marknaden i Europa relativt ny. Det innebär att det saknas större etablerade företag, riktlinjer och system att jämföra sig med om hur man expanderar på bästa sätt. Tidigare studier inom området har främst fokuserat på strategiska lösningar, såsom inköpsstrategier och hantering av leverantörer, men har förbisett utforskandet av hur man ska använda stödjande operativa funktioner. Även om vissa studier betonar vikten av dessa stödfunktioner är forskning som tillhandahåller modeller för användning av stödfunktioner bristfällig. Detta forskningsgap motiverar syftet med studien, vilken är att fokusera på modeller och bidra till den befintliga litteraturen. Målet med denna studie är att utveckla en omfattande och anpassningsbar expansionsstrategi som europeiska batteritillverkare kan använda vid expansion av sina produktionsanläggningar samtidigt som de säkerställer en högkvalitativ inköpsfunktion. För att uppnå detta har kvalitativa data samlats in genom intervjuer. Intervjuerna har främst genomförts med respondenter från det studerade företaget och har kompletterats med bidrag från relevanta externa deltagare. Genom att genomföra en fallstudie inom inköpsområdet har många värdefulla insikter erhållits, framför allt den identifierade expansionsstrategin som kan ses som en värdefull resurs för batteritillverkare. Det huvudsakliga resultatet av denna forskning är att batteritillverkarna har behov av en strukturerad stegmodell för expansion som tydligt anger både utförandestegen och deras sekventiella ordning. Stegen i ramverket är: (1) Säkra ledningens stöd, (2) Skapa en dedikerad expansionsgrupp, (3) Anpassa & konsolidera system, (4) Definiera roller & ansvar, (5) Utbilda & ge incitament till anställda, (6) Kontrollera åtkomst (7) Skapa & underhålla master data, och slutligen, (8) Initiera leverantörskontakt.

Den svenska upphandlingsprocessen och Trafikverket / The Swedish Public Procuration Process and the Transport Administration

Lundberg, Elina January 2021 (has links)
The Swedish public procurement system is well regulated and developed and can also be very hard to understand. The public sector annually carries out public procurements to a large amount of money, and thus constitutes a large part of Sweden’s total GDP. The value of the purchases covered by the procurement acts was estimated at approximately SEK 782 billion in 2018. The purpose of public procurement is to guarantee competition on equal terms, contribute to the efficient use of society's resources and taxpayers' money, while promoting innovative solutions, and have environmental considerations in mind. The purpose of this paper is to examine what the procurement process looks like at one of Sweden's largest authorities, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) and if improvements should be made. Questions about how tenders are received and evaluated, about what the market looks like, about what improvements that are desired and about what is good about the procurement process. These questions linked to a trust-based governing will be answered and discussed. The main conclusion that are made in this paper is that the Swedish procurement process require some improvements, but the hard thing is to decide what should be improved. My conclusion is that tender evaluation and the review process are areas that needs the most improvement from the empirical data that I have collected, but other areas came to discussion as well. A discussion regarding the trust-based governing is also included in the conclusion.
