For contracting authorities

Help more relevant suppliers find your procurement needs.

Good procurement starts before offers arrive. Clearer needs and a broader view of the market help buyers consider options they might otherwise miss. We work with public contracting authorities and private procurement organizations interested in improving that early stage.

A broader view of the supplier market

Nemudbud is digital infrastructure built by Pattrnz for the early stages of procurement in Denmark. Together with Nordic Procurement Labs, we help people understand procurement needs and connect them with what organizations can deliver.

Make the need easier to understand

A broad title or static purchase plan can hide what you actually need. We can work with you to make those needs easier for suppliers to interpret and connect to their capabilities.

Broaden the starting field

Relevant suppliers may sit outside established networks or describe their expertise in different terms. Better visibility can help smaller and less obvious providers recognize where they could contribute.

Explore resilience before disruption

We can explore supplier capabilities, locations and dependencies with you to identify Danish and regional alternatives. Knowing more about the available options can help you plan for continuity instead of relying only on familiar suppliers.

An illustrative example

Look for the capability behind the category.

A company that monitors bridges using fibre-optic sensors may have experience relevant to monitoring pipelines. A search limited to one sector’s terminology could miss it. Capability mapping can surface that connection for further technical and operational assessment.

A working example

See a smart portal in action.

Our first smart procurement portal uses public notices from DALO, the Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation, to show how purchasing needs can be made easier to explore and connected with supplier capabilities. Browse it without an account as a working example of what we could shape around your own procurement needs. This is an independent Nemudbud service, not an official DALO portal.

Ways to work with us

If you would like to go further than this portal example, we can work out a useful starting point together. We’ll discuss what you need to know, what information is available and how we could help.

A smart portal around your procurement needs

We can explore a smart procurement portal that makes your public notices easier to find and connects them with the wider Nemudbud catalog. Together, we would choose the sources, coverage and suppliers you want to reach.

Earlier market engagement

Procurement plans and challenges can give suppliers something useful to respond to before a tender is published. We can start with one category or need where you would welcome broader input from the market.

Supplier and dependency mapping

We can discuss a closer look at supplier capabilities and possible alternatives, with the evidence needed to assess them. This could support your thinking about regional sourcing and supply dependencies alongside your usual procurement process.

You can explore the thinking behind earlier engagement with the early-stage procurement value simulator from Nordic Procurement Labs. It gives an estimate based on the assumptions you enter, rather than a promise of savings.

Which procurement need would benefit from a broader market view?

Tell us about your organization, the categories you buy and what you want to improve. We can explore whether a portal, an early engagement initiative or a closer look at the supplier market would be a useful place to start.

We’ll discuss where Nemudbud could help and agree a practical next step.
