Latest Sweden Tenders

Sweden Tenders and Public Procurement

Sweden does not have a single national tender portal. Contracting authorities must advertise in registered advertising databases, which are supervised nationally, and contracts above EU thresholds also go to TED. With 21 regions and 290 municipalities buying alongside central agencies, it pays to have one feed that covers them all.

This page currently shows 2,800 open Sweden tenders. In the last twelve months Tender Impulse captured more than 37,000 Sweden notices, and our archive holds more than 84,000. 640 new notices were added in the past seven days.

Most open Sweden tenders fall under Infrastructure and construction (570), IT-Software (469), Healthcare & Medical (444), Education & Training (328), Oil and Gas (301) and Management Consultancy (161).

How to Bid for Tenders in Sweden

Here you will find all information necessary for you to bid for tenders in Sweden. Sweden is a Nordic country in Europe and falls under the jurisdiction of the European Union. Therefore, it follows all guidelines of EU procurement and has a sophisticated electronic tendering system. The Swedish procurement follows guidelines from its Public Procurement Act or the Lagem om offentlig upphandling or the LOU which lays down guidelines for fair and transparent buying. To bid for tenders in Sweden, companies must monitor bids through various portals. The different portals publishing government tenders in Sweden include the Tenders Electronic Daily, e-avrop, Mercell, Tendsign, Visma and SKR Adda which handles framework agreements for municipalities. Bidding in Sweden happens via electronic procurement so suppliers must ensure they are first registered on these portals with a contractor profile. Registering on various portals is easy and generally free of charge. Tender Impulse provides complete assistance to companies to register on the procurement portals.

The ESPD Requirement:

As a mandate, Sweden requires companies to fill out an ESPD (European single procurement document) as a preliminary evidence that the company is legal fair and in good financial condition. Once this is submitted companies can directly bid for tenders and once they get shortlisted then authorities might demand other documents such as Tax certificates, past experiences etc.

Bid Submission Language:

Swedish bids are published and expected to be responded in Swedish language which is the official language of the country. Therefore, all bid documents and RFP’s are published in Swedish language only. Tender Impulse provides complete translation of all tenders into English so that you can understand the requirements clearly and decide on the bid/no-bid decision. Companies can rely on our language translation service via which we can assist you in drafting a compelling bid.

The MEAT Criterion:

Swedish buyers typically recommend using the MEAT (most economically advantageous tender) method for evaluating the bids. Suppliers must note that they must bid competitively for them to succeed in the market. It is to be noted that the Swedish procurement does not allow room for negotiation which means they must quote their best offer at the first instance. Tender Impulse has developed an intuitive price benchmarking tool called bid bud which uses past data on tenders to accurately predict benchmark pricing of products and services being sold in Sweden.
