Sustainable public procurement knowledge platform (PAP)
The PAP acts as a reference tool for issues relating to sustainable public procurement. It is available to interested procurement offices at all federal levels. In particular, the PAP supports the harmonised implementation of the revised public procurement legislation. The PAP is published by the Federal Procurement Conference (FPC) and the Coordination Group for Construction and Property Services (KBOB), in cooperation with the Swiss Conference of Directors of Public Works, Planning and Environmental Protection (DPPE), the Association of Swiss Communes (ASC) and the Swiss Union of Cities (SSV).

simap.ch: The electronic platform of public procurement
Simap.ch is an electronic platform shared by the federal government, cantons and communes for public procurement purposes. It offers a simple procedure for public contract-awarding authorities to post their tenders and, if need be, any relevant tender documents. Bidders and companies interested are given an overview of all existing contracts across Switzerland and can download both the tenders and tender documents. They can ask any questions they may have directly on a question/answer forum on the portal.
