Swedish tender review under LOU
You are bidding on a Swedish public-sector tender. Selection criteria, award criteria, and mandatory contract clauses must align with Lagen om offentlig upphandling (LOU) and the EU procurement directives.
How the gateway answered
What does Lagen om offentlig upphandling (LOU, SFS 2016:1145) require for selection criteria, award criteria, exclusion grounds, and mandatory contract clauses? Cite the LOU articles plus the corresponding EU Directive 2014/24/EU provisions. (For a real tender review, attach the tender pack and the workflow will pair every requirement against the actual document.)

The gateway returned both the Swedish LOU corpus (SFS 2016:1145 for classic procurement and SFS 2016:1146 for utility-sector procurement) and the EU procurement directive snippets. The two work as a single contract — LOU transposes Directive 2014/24/EU and the case law from Förvaltningsrätten / Kammarrätten reads them together.
Selection criteria & exclusion grounds — LOU Chapter 13–14
The gateway returned the following LOU provisions:
- LOU Chapter 14 §1 — Lag (2016:1145) om offentlig upphandling, kvalificering. The contracting authority's qualification criteria for tenderers (capacity, financial standing, technical and professional ability). Critical — fails here are non-correctable.
- LSU Chapter 14 §§1–4 (parallel utility-sector regime, Lag (2016:1146)) — same control surface for utility procurement. Most multi-utility bidders need to flag which regime applies.
- LSU Chapter 14 §§9, 12, 15 — additional grounds (egen-försäkran / European Single Procurement Document), thresholds, group-of-economic-operators rules.
- LSU Chapter 13 §§2, 4 — mandatory and discretionary exclusion grounds. The mandatory grounds map directly to Article 57(1)–(2) of EU Directive 2014/24/EU (organised crime, corruption, fraud, terrorism, money laundering, child labour). The discretionary grounds cover prior breach, conflict of interest, distorted competition.
