What Sweden Lag (2016:1145) om offentlig upphandling (LOU) requires
Lag (2016:1145) om offentlig upphandling (LOU) is the principal Swedish Public Procurement Act, in force from 1 January 2017 and transposing Directive 2014/24/EU. The Act is structured in 22 Kapitel. Kapitel 1 contains scope and definitions, including upphandlande myndighet (contracting authority) and leverantor (economic operator). Kapitel 4 establishes the foundational principles requiring contracting authorities to treat suppliers equally and on a non-discriminatory basis (likvardigt och icke-diskriminerande satt) and to conduct open processes respecting proportionality. Kapitel 6 sets out the five permitted procurement procedures: oppet forfarande (open procedure), selektivt forfarande (restricted procedure), forhandlat forfarande med foregaende annonsering (negotiated procedure with prior publication), forhandlat forfarande utan foregaende annonsering (negotiated procedure without prior publication) and konkurrenspraglad dialog (competitive dialogue). Kapitel 13 establishes grounds for excluding economic operators. Kapitel 14 sets the qualification criteria for suppliers regarding economic capacity and technical competence. Kapitel 16 governs tender evaluation and award of contracts. Kapitel 20 establishes the rattsmedel (remedies) regime including overproving (review proceedings) before the forvaltningsdomstolar (administrative courts), interim suspension of the procurement and damages liability.
