Black-and-white report cover with a blurred crowd, on pandemic effects on public procurement

Please note: this report is for the Swedish market and is in Swedish.

Like the rest of society, public purchasing was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Government agencies, regions and municipalities spent more – and they spent differently. The mix of suppliers in the public market changed, with some selling more and others less.

At Tendium we handle large amounts of procurement data, and in this report we have examined the public sector’s recorded spending on purchases from private companies – known as accounts payable ledger data – over the years 2017–2021.

In the report you’ll learn:

  • What the public sector spent more and less on during the pandemic

  • Which companies were the winners and losers in the public market during the pandemic

  • What we can learn from the pandemic – three trend predictions for the years ahead
