DTU’s Procurement Policy

DTU's Procurement Policy defines the overall principles, frameworks, and requirements for how procurement must be carried out at the university. The purpose is to ensure that procurement at DTU is conducted professionally, transparently, and in compliance with applicable rules and legislation.

The policy helps ensure that DTU's resources are used responsibly and efficiently, enabling the university to achieve the greatest possible value for money. Procurement must support high‑quality solutions, sound financial management, and the integration of responsibility and sustainability in all phases of the procurement process – in line with DTU's Green Procurement Guidelines.

Together with DTU's Accounting Instructions, the Procurement Policy establishes the overall framework for procurement activities at DTU. It describes the division of responsibilities between Group Procurement, departments, and units, and provides guidance on handling different types of purchases. The policy also aims to create a clear direction and ensure that employees have well‑defined standards to follow when making purchases on behalf of DTU.
