DESIGN
Targets for procurement strategy
• Large design contracts - minimize the number of interfaces, reduce the need for coordination, uniform solutions.
• Mixed contract sizes - the majority are large contracts in the range of SEK 200 - 1,500 million.
• Strive for mass balance
• Standardized bridge constructions - minimize the number of unique constructions, increase quality while reducing the time for design, procurement and construction
• A summary of our procurement strategy can be found on our website (also in English)
