Procurement and tendering policy

We are subject to tendering requirements. This means that we procure supplies, services, and works in accordance with certainlaws and regulations. Our procurement and tendering policy is leading in this regard. This policy was harmonized again in 2016 in collaboration with the other water authorities. 

In doing so, we pursue a number of key objectives (Chapter 2). Given that procurement takes place in a dynamic environment, we must continuously strive to improve our procurement processes. This policy contributes to the achievement of the objectives of HHNK's general policy.

In addition, when purchasing works, supplies, or services, we base our decisions on:

1. legal principles: how do we deal with the relevant regulations? (chapter 3)
2. Ethical and idealistic principles: how do we deal with society and the environment in our purchasing process? (Chapter 4)
3. economic principles: how do we deal with the market and suppliers? (chapter 5)
4. organizational principles: how do we purchase? (chapter 6)
