Federal Act
on Public Procurement
(PPA)

¹ Un­der this Act, ten­der­ers from Switzer­land are per­mit­ted to sub­mit a tender, as are ten­der­ers from coun­tries with which Switzer­land has un­der­taken to grant mar­ket ac­cess on a con­trac­tu­al basis, provided such coun­tries have un­der­taken the same com­mit­ment to Switzer­land.

² Out­side the scope of in­ter­na­tion­al treat­ies, for­eign ten­der­ers are per­mit­ted to sub­mit a tender if their coun­tries of ori­gin grant re­cip­roc­al rights or if the con­tract­ing au­thor­ity so per­mits.

³ The Fed­er­al Coun­cil shall keep a list of the coun­tries that have un­der­taken to grant mar­ket ac­cess to Switzer­land. The list shall be up­dated peri­od­ic­ally.
