Purchasing and procurement

You should primarily use the purchase tool Lupin when you need to buy goods or services. In Lupin, you will find the suppliers with which Lund University has signed agreements. According to the Swedish Public Procurement Act (2016:1145 LOU), we must use these suppliers when we buy products and services. If you do not find an agreement you must make a procurement. If no agreement exists, the total cost of your contract value will determine how you should proceed.

If you have any questions, contact our purchasing coordinator.

Purchases and procurements, the purchase tool Lupin, and how you calculate the contract value is available on the Staff pages.
