How Vejen Municipality transformed and streamlined its procurement strategy

Organization overview

Vejen Municipality in Denmark has approximately 43,000 inhabitants and has been rated in a number of surveys as one of Denmark's most business-friendly municipalities.

With the slogan “Room to succeed”, Vejen Municipality's mission is to be an attractive business and settlement municipality that creates a framework and opportunities for well-being, quality and growth.

Business issues

• The municipality must meet a number of politically agreed objectives in the procurement area.
• Management lacked a measurable and structured approach to strategy work.
• Monitoring and following up on actions in the procurement strategy was a cumbersome process that required extensive descriptions and documentation, and it was difficult to visualize status and results for reporting purposes.

The solution

• The strategy was put on track with a clear hierarchy and a built-in reporting tool that makes it easy to follow up on both politically approved and individual actions.
• A clear link was created between the overall procurement strategy and the actions needed to achieve the goals in each area.

The benefits

• A better overview has been created, making it easier for management and politicians to follow progress without having to delve into the details.
• The platform supports the documentation of progress, makes the work concrete and visible, and helps the organization stay on track with its goals.
