Architecture tenders and design competitions in Sweden

Swedish public buyers award architects' services under the Public Procurement Act, LOU (2016:1145), through tenders for design services and through design contests (projekttävlingar). Sweden has no single national tender portal, so notices are spread across several advertisement databases. TenderDesk's Swedish feed comes from TED, which carries the contracts above the EU thresholds.

Questions

Where are architecture tenders published in Sweden?
There is no single national portal. Buyers advertise in registered advertisement databases (registrerade annonsdatabaser), privately run services registered with the Swedish Competition Authority, and in TED for contracts above the EU thresholds. TenderDesk shows the TED notices, scored so the real design commissions come first.
How do Swedish architecture competitions work?
A projekttävling is open or restricted, with anonymous entries judged by a jury, and the winner is usually awarded the design contract. Competitions can be arranged in cooperation with Sveriges Arkitekter, the Swedish Association of Architects, whose competition committee then usually appoints two architects to the jury.
Can an architecture firm from another country bid in Sweden?
Yes. Public tenders in the EU are open to firms from other member states on equal terms, and many teams pair a foreign lead with a local partner. Check the tender's requirements for professional registration (none is required by law in Sweden, where the title of architect is not protected) and for the language of the submission.
