Public tenders in the canton of Zurich

Public tenders are currently open in the canton of Zurich in IT, engineering and planning, building technology, environmental services, business services, transport, medical and laboratory equipment and security equipment. 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

In the canton of Zurich, a large cantonal administration sits alongside two cities that buy a lot and a dense network of other public buyers. The canton buys specialist applications, infrastructure and services for its directorates. The city of Zurich runs its IT through its own department and regularly tenders large projects, and Winterthur tenders on its own as well. Add the University of Zurich, the ZHAW, the University Hospital Zurich, the Cantonal Hospital Winterthur, the transport operators and, as a sector buyer, Flughafen Zürich AG.

Context

That range shows in what gets tendered: e-government platforms, school IT, clinical and laboratory systems, network and workplace equipment, data platforms and, again and again, framework agreements for IT staff and project support. Above the thresholds the open procedure dominates; for large platform and outsourcing projects, Zurich buyers also use the selective procedure with prequalification.

What matters

The submission language is almost always German. Questions go through the anonymised question forum on simap, which has its own deadline well before the submission date. With framework agreements, look closely at the lots: focusing on one lot that fits your profile often gives better chances than bidding across every profile.

With Sealio

Sealio monitors new Zurich notices, analyses the documents and reminds you of question and submission deadlines, so your team can decide early where an offer is worth the effort. In the first triage, judge more than the subject. Compare the required references, the availability of key people, the volume of documents to submit and the submission language with the capacity you actually have. On large projects, it helps to assign requirements and award criteria to a named person early, which shows before the questions round closes what needs clarifying and whether a complete offer is realistic. Separate the mandatory criteria from the points that can win extra marks in the evaluation, and count the effort for the required submission format in the same decision.

For your bid

If you compare your free capacity with the requested roles early, you will not find out at the last minute that a well-matched notice is one you cannot deliver.
