A Logistical Perspective on Dynamic Purchasing Systems : Investigating the Supplier Perspective

This study investigates Dynamic Purchasing Systems’ (DPS) supplier perspectiveand frameworks’ supplier perspective. DPSs were introduced in to the Swedish 2016procurement laws and few studies have been conducted looking into the procedurein a logistical view. Preferred customer theory was used to help understand thedifferences between the two procedures and how much they align with the previousliterature. Two methods were incorporated into the study. The first is that fiveinterviews were conducted with service suppliers. Three Technical service suppliers,one Professional Service supplier, and one legal consultant. The second is that asurvey was distributed to the suppliers of Luleå Municipality to understand thebroader population’s opinion. Some of the literature agreed with the findings fromthe interviews. Both the interviews and the survey showed that there were mixedopinions on the procedure. Further, the evaluation of the submitted tenders seemedto be a large point of which all the interviewees agreed should be based on quality,the size of the call-off was also a point that seemed to sway how well received theprocedure would be, which is similar to previous studies. Finally, the placement of aneed in the Kraljic Matrix could also impact the perspective of the procedure due tothe results that the position would have on how the technique is implemented.
