Procurements not covered by international agreements / domestic market area

Public contracts outside the treaty-based scope, but still governed by Swiss procurement law.

This scope covers procurements outside the international treaty regime. Swiss procurement law still applies, but market access does not rest directly on the GPA or a similar agreement.

Federal or cantonal procurement rules still apply, especially on transparency, equal treatment, and economic use of public funds. For Swiss bidders, this is often the part of the market where domestic and cantonal specifics matter most.

In practice, this category often includes contracts below certain thresholds, as well as contracts issued by authorities or in sectors outside the international agreements.
