Tactics

When contracts were awarded in this country and sector, usually 5 or more bids came in. Many compete here — price and references decide. (Based on 170 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)

This procedure allows 37 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 31 (median of 1,279 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

In Sweden, 497 contracts went to foreign companies over the last 3 years (of 6,846 recorded awards) — mostly from Finland, Germany, Denmark.

Submission language: Swedish.

Measured from linked award data; foreign winners bidding through a local subsidiary count as domestic — the true share is higher.
