The Public Procurement Act (PPA) (German: Bundesgesetz über das öffentliche Beschaffungswesen, BöB, French: Loi fédérale sur les marchés publics, LMP, Italian: Legge federale sugli appalti pubblici, LAPub), is a Swiss federal law that governs the awarding of public contracts by Swiss federal authorities,[1] representing a total market of 80-100 billion CHF per year.[2] It transposes the WTO's Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) into Swiss law.[3] It was adopted on 21 June 2019 by the Federal Assembly and came into force on 1 January 2021. It is a complete revision of the previous law of 1994.[4]

This act does not apply to cantonal authorities, which have their own regulation on the topic. However, the 2019 revision was also accompanied by a total revision of Intercantonal Agreement on Public Procurement (German: Interkantonale Vereinbarung über das öffentliche Beschaffungswesen, IVöB, French: Accord intercantonal sur les marchés publics, AIMP),[5] which provides a common framework for the Public Procurement at the cantonal level. Together, these changes brought substantial harmonization of federal and cantonal law.[6]
The PPA is implemented by the Public Procurement Ordinance (PPO) (German: Verordnung über das öffentliche Beschaffungswesen, VöB, French: Ordonnance sur les marchés publics, OMP, Italian: Ordinanza sugli appalti pubblici, OAPub) of 2020,[7] which came into effect at the same time as the law.
