How EU Procurement Works in Switzerland

EU public procurement above certain thresholds must be published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily), the official journal of EU procurement. Tenders from Switzerland are published here alongside opportunities from all other EU member states.

EU procurement follows directives (2014/24/EU for public contracts, 2014/25/EU for utilities) that ensure fair competition across borders. Any business established in an EU/EEA member state can bid on tenders in Switzerland without discrimination.

Tenders are classified using CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes, which function similarly to NAICS codes in the US. Identifying your relevant CPV codes is essential for finding matching opportunities in Switzerland.

Procurement procedures in Switzerland include open procedures (anyone can bid), restricted procedures (pre-qualification required), competitive dialogue, and innovation partnerships. The procedure type is stated in the contract notice and determines how to submit your bid.

Language requirements vary — while TED notices include summaries in all EU languages, full tender documents from Switzerland are typically published in the national language. Translation of key documents may be required for international bidders.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find government contracts in Switzerland?
EU public contracts above certain thresholds from Switzerland are published on TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) at ted.europa.eu. GovMatch monitors TED daily and automatically matches Switzerland opportunities to your business profile.
Can non-EU companies bid on contracts in Switzerland?
EU procurement is open to companies from EU/EEA member states. Companies from GPA (Government Procurement Agreement) signatory countries (including the US, Canada, Japan, and others) can also bid on many tenders. Some contracts may be restricted to EU-based firms for security or strategic reasons.
What are CPV codes and how do they relate to Switzerland tenders?
CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes classify the subject of EU procurement contracts. They function like NAICS codes in the US. Each TED notice from Switzerland includes CPV codes that describe the goods, services, or works being procured. Knowing your relevant CPV codes helps you find matching opportunities.
What is the minimum contract value for TED publication from Switzerland?
EU procurement directives set thresholds above which contracts must be published on TED. Current thresholds (updated biennially) are approximately €143,000 for central government supplies/services, €221,000 for sub-central authorities, and €5.5M for works contracts. Below these thresholds, contracts may be published nationally only.
How often are new tenders from Switzerland published on TED?
TED publishes new notices daily, including contract notices, prior information notices, and contract award notices from Switzerland. Publication volumes vary by country size and economic activity. GovMatch checks for new Switzerland opportunities daily.
