How do procurements take place?

The following general rules and legal obligations apply to buyers.

Order Formation

Buyers can select specifications for goods, services, or works in the CPO LT catalog and create an order basket for them.

  • Before placing orders in the catalog, buyers must familiarize themselves with the catalog user guide.
  • When entering into an order contract, the buyer is not entitled to change the terms of the order contract formed in the catalog.

Order Announcement

Additional order conditions can be set and the updated supplier competition can be announced in the CPO LT catalog.

  • The buyer cannot cancel a published order.
  • The buyer undertakes to conclude a contract with the winning supplier through the catalog after announcing the order, except for exceptions provided in the terms of the preliminary contract on which the order is based.
  • If the buyer refuses to sign the order contract without canceling the order, CPO LT has the right to terminate the buyer’s ongoing orders in the catalog and/or prohibit the buyer from announcing orders through CPO LT for a specified period.

Supplier Competition

Updated supplier price offers are awaited in the CPO LT catalog until the deadline set by the buyer.

  • The buyer agrees that CPO LT has the right to cancel the order before the order contract is concluded.
  • If the buyer wishes to cancel an ongoing order, they must inform CPO LT.

Contract Conclusion

A main contract can be concluded with the winning supplier for the supply of goods, services, or works.

  • The order contract can only be concluded after information about the winning supplier is provided in the catalog.
  • The buyer must provide the winning supplier with properly formatted and signed 2 copies of the Order Contract no later than 5 working days from the date of receipt of the notification about the selected winning supplier to conclude the order contract.
