E-commerce at the Swedish Police

Our purchasing system is the most efficient way for those at the Police to find and order products from our suppliers.

Our e-commerce system is the most efficient way for those at the Police to find and order your products. The entire ordering process is made easier for both purchaser and supplier by working together with us to enable ordering from your agreement and making sure your invoices are structured correctly.

The information on this page applies to all products and services that can be ordered through our purchasing system. It does not apply to IT-related products and services.

There are multiple ways to e-trade with us. Unless otherwise agreed, you may choose which of the methods below is best suited to your company.

E-trade via your electronic ordering system

We can create an electronic purchasing flow from order to invoice if your company offers system support for electronic ordering that works with the Peppol BIS e-commerce standard. Peppol BIS e-commerce is a generic term that refers to messages in XML format sent via the Peppol network that SFTI (Single Face to Industry) recommends for e-trade with the public sector. You can read more about the Peppol e-commerce messages we use further down on the page.

The Police's electronic Peppol address is: 0007:2021000076.

Read more about e-purchases on the SFTI website.

E-commerce via the Police supplier portal for catalogues, orders and invoicing

If your company does not have system support for electronic ordering as described above, you can use the The Police's online supplier portal. You can use this portal to manage your product catalogue, receive orders and effortlessly transform the orders received into electronic invoices which will then be sent to us.

The supplier portal provided by Opus Capita is free of charge.

3. Submit a product catalogue with the items included in the agreement

This is where you submit a price list and product catalogue of the items included in the agreement. Once we have received your price list and catalogue, we will make it accessible to all of the Police´s purchasers in our system. There are three ways to do this:

  • Using your electronic ordering system support and the Peppol network; Creating an electronic product catalogue using the Peppol BIS Catalogue without response 3 and submitting it to our Peppol address.
  • Creating and submitting a product catalogue through the Police supplier portal. More information about the portal can be found above.

It is essential that your price list contains clear item descriptions, synonyms suitable for the target group and the correct classifications as per the UNSPSC. This will help our purchasers find and order your products. An image and additional product text further explain the choice of product or service.

The price list and product catalogue must contain the following information:

  • supplier’s product code
  • item description/item name
  • price and currency
  • price unit/order unit/packaging size
  • UNSPSC classification codes for products and services. Information about product classification is available on the SFTI website.

  • agreement ID or agreement number (five digits).

To facilitate the process for the purchasers, the price list and product catalogue should contain the following information:

  • lead time, delivery time as number of days
  • images, preferably links to images.
  • synonyms and search terms
  • product text, a detailed description of the item, max. 350 characters.

We will be able to provide more information about the orders we send, such as sizes, serial numbers for servicing instruments, or contact details for servicing if necessary. Email us on inkop-ea.e-handel@polisen.se.

4. Receive orders from the Police

There are three ways we can send you orders:

5. Send the order confirmation to the Police

Unless otherwise agreed, you must send your order confirmation directly to the purchaser’s email address.

6. Send the invoice to the Police

The final stage involves sending your invoice to us. We will link your invoice with our order for an automated invoice review. Therefore, it is important that you write our order number in the correct place on the invoice.
