Federal Act
on Public Procurement
(PPA)

¹ If sev­er­al con­tract­ing au­thor­it­ies sub­ject to fed­er­al and can­ton­al law par­ti­cip­ate in a pro­cure­ment, the law of the com­munity whose con­tract­ing au­thor­ity provides the most fin­an­cing ap­plies. If the total can­ton­al share out­weighs the fed­er­al share, this Act does not ap­ply.

² Sev­er­al con­tract­ing au­thor­it­ies in­volved in a pro­cure­ment may, by mu­tu­al agree­ment, make a joint pro­cure­ment sub­ject to the law of one of the con­tract­ing au­thor­it­ies in­volved, in derog­a­tion from the above prin­ciples.

³ Pub­lic and private un­der­tak­ings that have been gran­ted ex­clus­ive or spe­cial rights by the Con­fed­er­a­tion or that per­form tasks in the na­tion­al in­terest may choose wheth­er to sub­ject their pro­cure­ments to the law of their place of busi­ness or to fed­er­al law.
