When the public sector purchases goods, services or works, it often does so through a public procurement process. Public procurement (LOU) is a statutory purchasing process designed to ensure that public purchases are opened up to competition and that public money is used as efficiently as possible.
Course on LOU (Public Procurement Act) A Key to Efficient and Fair Procurement
The Public Procurement Act (LOU) is one of the main laws governing public procurement in Sweden. It regulates how state and municipal authorities as well as public companies should conduct their procurements to ensure transparency, non-discrimination, equal treatment and proportionality. A course in LOU is essential to understand and apply these principles correctly and effectively.
Why is the course important?
The LOU course is important because it provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the legal requirements and procedures that apply to public procurement. Following the LOU correctly is crucial to avoid legal disputes and financial sanctions. It also ensures that public funds are used efficiently and fairly, which helps to build trust in public organizations.
Target group for the course
The course is aimed at anyone who works with or is involved in public procurement. This includes employees of government agencies, municipalities, county councils and public companies. The course is also relevant for suppliers and consultants who want to understand the requirements and rules that apply in tendering procedures.
Professional roles that have use for the course
