Document background
The Tender Application Letter is a crucial document in Swiss public and private procurement processes, serving as the formal entry point for organizations seeking to participate in tender opportunities. This document type is specifically used when responding to tender notices issued by Swiss public authorities or private entities, requiring careful attention to both federal and cantonal procurement regulations. The letter must align with the Federal Act on Public Procurement (FAPP/BöB) and related ordinances, while also considering international agreements such as the WTO Government Procurement Agreement. It typically includes key information about the bidding organization, confirmation of tender requirement compliance, and references to supporting documentation, forming part of a larger tender submission package.
