Lagen om offentlig upphandling (Public Procurement Act)

Lagen om offentlig upphandling (Public Procurement Act) governs how government entities in Sweden purchase goods, services, and construction work. Its main goal is to ensure that these purchases are made fairly, transparently, and economically, promoting competition and preventing corruption. The law sets rules for how public organizations should advertise tenders, evaluate bids, and select suppliers, ensuring that all qualified companies have an equal chance. It also emphasizes sustainability and efficiency, aiming to serve the public interest while obtaining good value for taxpayers’ money.
