Our Operations

The Procurement and Logistics Department is responsible for the region's own procurements and, on behalf of the Supply Management Committee, conducts procurements and supplies five regions with consumables. The total purchases amount to approximately 10 billion SEK per year. We also collaborate with other regions within the Healthcare Region of Central Sweden in joint procurements. The Procurement and Logistics Department is organizationally placed in the Management Office.

The Procurement and Logistics Department currently consists of about fifty employees, of which about twenty are procurement officers and the rest are purchasers, logisticians, and various specialist and support functions. The department is organized into units: the Procurement Unit for real estate, goods and services, the Procurement Unit for medical technology and pharmaceuticals, the Logistics Unit, the Business Development Unit, and the Procurement Unit for supply management. We currently have a well-functioning operation but also see that we, like other large organizations, can streamline our work, and the ambition is to develop the operations in the coming years.
