IT procurement — from need to good business
Procurement of IT is rarely easy. The needs of the business must be translated into the right requirements, the Public Procurement Act must be complied with — and everything must land in a solution that actually works in everyday life. With DirSy's procurement model, we help you all the way — from need to good business.

When IT procurement becomes harder than it needs to be
Public organisations covered by the Public Procurement Act (LOU) need to purchase IT services in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner. It requires legal knowledge — but at least as much understanding of the market and the actual needs of the business.
In practice, we often see that:
The requirements are too technical and tight.
Business and IT talk past each other
important suppliers are unnecessarily excluded
the procurement is delayed — or reviewed
The result is delays, unnecessary costs and a solution that does not quite fit. To succeed, it takes someone who holds the whole together. That's where we come in.

Frequently Asked Questions about IT Procurement
When do you need to bring in external help in an IT procurement?
When procurement is complex, business-critical or involves many stakeholders.
Many organizations notice that it is difficult to keep together the business needs, the legal requirements of the LOU and the technical requirements. Then external help is often crucial to avoid delays, wrong requirements picture or over-examination.
What is the most common reason why IT procurements are not successful?
That the requirements picture becomes too technical or too detached from the actual needs of the business.
This often results in the right suppliers being sorted out, the solution not being fully used or the deal not delivering the desired value.
How is DirSys different from traditional procurement consultants?
We combine procurement expertise, IT understanding and business perspective.
This means that we not only ensure that the procurement complies with the LOU — but also that you actually get a solution that works in everyday life and can be implemented in your business.
Do you help with both requirements work and the procurement itself?
Yes. We support all the way: from needs analysis and market analysis, to requirements specification, evaluation of tenders and introduction of the selected solution. You get a cohesive process instead of many separate efforts.
Can you help us even if we have already started the procurement process?
Often, yes. We can step into ongoing procurements to support with requirements review, evaluation model or dialogue for the next step — depending on where you are in the process.
How do you reduce the risk of redress?
Through clear structure, balanced requirements and a well-thought-out evaluation model.
We ensure that the requirements are relevant, proportionate and actionable — and that the process is transparent throughout.
Do you only work in the public sector?
Our focus is primarily on the public sector and activities covered by LOU, but we also work with procurement in other regulated environments where structure, transparency and business benefit are crucial.
What do we get out of using your model?
