This article shows you as a municipal employee how to report a need, and what happens to it.
Report the need
Select Needs in the menu and select New need.
Fill in what the procurement concerns and a Description. Write what you need and why.
Set the Estimated value, choose Department and Contact person, and submit.
ℹ️ Note: The estimated value is not only an internal guess. It helps decide which part of the procurement rules the purchase falls under, so guess a little high rather than low.
What happens next
The need lands in the Inbox. Procurement reviews it and considers how it should be met. If approved, it moves to Approved needs and can be turned into a procurement.
You find your own under My needs.
💡 Tip: Check whether a framework agreement already covers the need before reporting it. Then the order can often be placed straight away instead of starting a new competition.
