The overall aim for the Embassy's administration is to ensure procurement and sales on market terms and to ensure an economically justifiable administration.
In order to accommodate the Public Procurement Act's objective of lowest possible tendering cost for contracting entities as well as for suppliers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has estimated acquisitions with an estimated value below DKK 250,000 net of VAT made by units or missions to have "no certain cross-border interest". For all acquisitions between DKK 250,000 and DKK 1,072,094 net of VAT a specific assessment of whether the acquisitions have got "certain cross-border interest" must be made on a case-by-case basis.
If a specific acquisition does not have "certain cross-border interest" it must still be ensured that the acquisition takes place on market terms andin accordance with the principles of administrative law, such as objectivity and economically justifiable administration.
