Function Procurement

”We work both strategically with a helicopter perspective and with fast, focused deliveries.”

Function Procurement's mission is to be guiding and helpful in procurement matters within the programme, both long-term strategically with large procurements of contractors, and implementation of consulting procurements with the right focus and priorities.

─ What is special and exciting about the really large contract procurements is that every decision becomes a strategic issue because it has major consequences in terms of time, money and quality. It is extremely important to think in many steps and get it as right as possible from the beginning, which is challenging and stimulating, says Åsa Andersson.

Both strategic and  operative

The very largest procurement that the function works on is a collaboration for the New Sjölunda project, where the entire Sjölunda wastewater treatment plant is to be rebuilt and expanded during ongoing operation. In this, there is a great complexity and a number of unpredictable parameters because the plant today is old. It is also an extensive purification process that must be rebuilt, which requires special skills in the various steps.

─ Building MAXIMA is a unique project where things happen all the time and there are no standard answers. It is fun to be able to work both strategically with a helicopter perspective and operationally with fast deliveries, and it feels good to be able to be involved and benefit both VA SYD and the citizens.
