What Is an Extended Tender Period (Förlängd anbudstid, Sweden)?
This is a Swedish procurement term. A case where the deadline for submitting bids is pushed back from its original date, extending the standard tender period.
When must the tender period be extended?
Above the thresholds, the authority must extend the tender period if requested additional information is not provided in time, or if the procurement documents are changed significantly. The extension must be proportionate to the importance of the information or changes.
How do you find out that the tender period has been extended?
The authority announces it through the procurement system or the advertising database, often together with an answer to a question or a correction. Always check the current deadline before submitting a bid.
Can a supplier request an extended tender period?
Yes, but the authority decides. If the tender period is extended, the extension applies to all suppliers.
