In this sub-competition, employees may also shop directly at the store as needed, for example if the unit runs out of some items before the next planned delivery, or an unforeseen need occurs. The delivery points are given in Annex 4 - Delivery Points. Some of the units require weekly delivery, whilst others have more occasional needs. Some units must also be able to deliver several times a week. Lot 2 - in-store purchases directly This sub-competition is for procurements where employees in the municipality shop directly in-store.

If a tenderer would like to submit tenders for both lots, the tenderer must submit tenders for both lots in Artifik. This means that all documents and forms that shall be completed must be submitted for each sub-competition. It is not enough to submit a tender in one sub-competition and write that the tender shall also apply for the second sub-competition.
