Purchase Department
The FLI's Purchasing Department is the central tendering office and strategic partner for science. It ensures that all scientific and administrative areas are supplied with what they need for their work – economically, legally compliant, and in line with requirements.
Whether material resources, consumables, infrastructure, or investments: Purchasing is responsible for the procurement of all goods and services related to scientific work.
Our focus areas:
- Cost-effectiveness & quality
- Reliable, flexible, and sustainable supply & adherence to deadlines
- Expert advice on the preparation of service specifications
- Planning/implementation of legally compliant procurement procedures
- Audit-proof documentation – even for smaller projects
- Strategic further development of procurement processes
Our central goods receiving department coordinates incoming goods and checks them for completeness and quality.
This department acts as an interface between suppliers and consumers.
With a high level of expertise and a holistic view of market conditions, legal frameworks, and internal requirements, the purchasing department ensures that research is not slowed down by bureaucracy, but rather strengthened by reliable structures.
