Introduction to Procurement at DTU
Are you purchasing goods or services on behalf of DTU? Here is a quick overview of how procurement works, which rules apply, and where you can find help.
The procurement process may be organised differently across DTU’s units. In some places, purchasing is centralised, meaning only selected employees are authorised to order, while other units allow more staff to make purchases. It is therefore a good idea to familiarise yourself with how procurement is handled in your specific unit. If you have questions, you can always contact one of your unit’s procurement super users. Every unit has at least one super user who can help you.
Find your procurement super user.
To ensure that procurement is efficient, compliant, and carried out on the best possible terms, DTU uses shared framework agreements and systems. DTU’s procurement policy defines the overall principles, and the DTU supplier agreements shows which suppliers you must use. All purchases are made in DTU Fusion, the shared procurement system.
If you are new in the role of requisitioner – or simply need a refresher – the Procurement Course is recommended. The course gives you the knowledge and tools you need to purchase correctly and efficiently. You can take the course whenever it suits you, and you can find it here.
DTU has common frameworks and guidelines for procurement, designed to ensure proper use of public funds, favourable conditions, and an efficient process.
Here you will find:
- DTU’s Procurement Policy, which describes the framework and principles for procurement
- DTU supplier agreements, which lists the supplier agreements for procurement you must use
- DTU Fusion, the system used for all purchases
