Public tenders in the canton of Bern

Public tenders are currently open in the canton of Bern in IT, engineering and planning, building technology, environmental services, business services, transport, medical and laboratory equipment, security equipment and energy. Closed procedures from the past twelve months are listed as well. Every entry comes from a notice on simap.ch, published in German or French. Each detail page summarises the buyer, scope and dates in English, and links to the official notice.

Overview

Bern is two procurement markets in one. As the federal city, it hosts the main federal purchasing bodies, including the Federal Office for Buildings and Logistics (BBL) and armasuisse, which publish IT purchases for the whole federal administration on simap. Next to them is the cantonal market: the administration of the bilingual canton of Bern, the city of Bern, the University of Bern, the Bern University of Applied Sciences, the Insel Group (one of the largest hospital groups in Switzerland) and transport operators such as BERNMOBIL and BLS.

Context

Federal tenders follow the BöB and are often large: framework agreements over several years, high demands on references and information security, and sometimes the option of submitting in more than one official language. Cantonal and municipal procedures under the IVöB are usually smaller and closer to a specific project. Watch both levels and Bern shows a wider range than almost any other canton.

What matters

A practical point: because the canton is bilingual, some procedures run in both German and French, and the notice always decides. Questions go through the simap forum, with their own deadline. Federal procedures in the WTO scope have longer deadlines, but stricter formal requirements for evidence and self-declarations.

With Sealio

Sealio helps you sort through this volume. It filters new Bern notices by your profile, summarises the documents and tracks every deadline up to submission. To qualify a tender, compare the requested scope clearly with what you can deliver. In federal procedures, check the evidence, self-declarations and required submission format at the start, not during the final edit. Cantonal projects are often closer to a specific need, but there too the fit has to be proven. Note open points as you read the documents and ask your questions through the official channel before the deadline. Check the language rules before you budget time for writing the answers, and decide early who is responsible for references and self-declarations, so missing documents show up before the final phase.
