Common challenges

Complex licensing models and compliance requirements

Public buyers specify licensing models in detail — per-user, per-seat, concurrent, subscription, or perpetual. Misunderstanding the model can lead to pricing errors that make your bid uncompetitive or non-compliant.

Integration requirements with existing systems

Tenders frequently mandate integration with legacy systems, identity providers, or cantonal platforms. These requirements are often scattered across technical annexes and can make or break a bid.

Data migration and transition complexity

Replacing an incumbent system means migrating years of data. The scope of data migration, format conversion, and parallel operation periods is buried in requirement documents and significantly affects effort estimation.

Long-term support and update commitments

Public contracts often require multi-year maintenance, update guarantees, and SLA commitments. Understanding the full lifecycle cost expectation is critical but rarely obvious from the notice alone.

Security certification requirements

From ISO 27001 to Swiss-specific data residency rules, software tenders impose security requirements that can disqualify vendors who lack the right certifications or cannot host data within Switzerland.
