Procurement process requirements

A deep and thorough understanding of the procurement process is critical and ÅF has expertise in the process and in all relevant regulation.

Running an efficient procurement process can be a challenging job, but as a global engineering and consulting company ÅF has comprehensive expertise in the area of public and private procurement.

Our ambition is to work closely together with you throughout the procurement process. A critical part of this involves listening and asking questions to understand your challenges and ambition.

ÅF’s consultants have deep knowledge of the entire process and of all relevant regulation. We're also experts at creating clear and concise requirement specifications. Requirements are always created based on your underlying business needs as they were identified and documented during the analysis phase.

We have the expertise to define appropriate evaluation criteria, which will clearly show the optimum balance between functionality, quality and price during the evaluation process of the proposed solution.

ÅF has performed these services for many companies and organizations of different sizes and in various industries. Most often ÅF is responsible for the management of the whole process, but in some situations, we are only used as advisors or for final quality assurance purposes in an Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) role.

ÅF has deep knowledge in negotiation and the creation of various types of agreements and we are able to take full responsibility for a complete procurement process, or just for desired phases and steps of the process.

ÅF’s consultant are very experienced in this field and will most often end up as formal or informal leaders of the process and as such, become the driving force in the projects. The services provided by ÅF in this phase can always be customized to your specific needs and requirements.
