Development and improvement

Sit collaborates with suppliers to develop innovative solutions, products and services that contribute to a positive and sustainable student life.

We are a demanding customer. This means that we expect our suppliers to continually innovate and provide improved solutions. We operate in a rapidly changing world with major social and environmental challenges that require innovation, new thinking and development.

Procurement as a driver of development

Through our requirements and purchasing decisions, we help drive the markets in a more sustainable direction. We challenge suppliers to raise the bar when it comes to improving efficiency, reducing environmental impact and utilising new technologies.

Procurement is an important arena for development and innovation at Sit. Consequently, we work closely with our suppliers before, during and after the procurement process. Development and continuous improvement always form an integral part of our procurement agreements.

Focusing on the needs of the students

The source of the development is the needs of the students.

Our students need:

• a sustainable student life
• services that contribute to meaningful student experiences and a high quality of life

Before issuing a call for tenders, we ask suppliers to explain how their solutions best meet these needs and how they can be further developed. We expect continuous development and consistently set clear objectives for improvements.

If you want to be a supplier to Sit, we expect you to actively engage in development activities together with us and the students.
