Federal Act
on Public Procurement
(PPA)

¹ The ten­der­er has to sub­mit a com­plete tender for what is to be pro­cured.

² The con­tract­ing au­thor­ity may di­vide the pro­cure­ment item in­to lots and award them to one or more ten­der­ers.

³ If the con­tract­ing au­thor­ity has formed lots, ten­der­ers may sub­mit a tender for sev­er­al lots, un­less the con­tract­ing au­thor­ity has provided oth­er­wise in the in­vit­a­tion to tender. It may stip­u­late that a single ten­der­er may re­ceive only a lim­ited num­ber of lots.

⁴ If the con­tract­ing au­thor­ity re­serves the right to re­quire ten­der­ers to co­oper­ate with third parties, it an­nounces this in the in­vit­a­tion to tender.

⁵ The con­tract­ing au­thor­ity may re­serve the right to award con­tracts for par­tial sup­plies in the in­vit­a­tion to tender.
