Webinar: Success factors for a successful procurement

Public procurement can often be seen as an obstacle rather than a framework for smart business. The challenges are given more space than the purpose – to ensure efficient and sound purchasing. In order to build trust between customers and suppliers, dispel myths and work for better business, the Swedish Water Industry and Svenskt Vatten invite you to a joint webinar with a focus on public procurement. 

The webinar is an updated replay of the webinar held in June 2025 and is aimed at those of you who work with procurement in the water and sanitation sector in one way or another. You will get an overview of the procurement procedure, knowledge about opportunities for dialogue in public procurement and learn about success factors for a successful procurement. You will also be given the opportunity to contribute to this forum for questions and answers about procurement in the water and sanitation sector.
