瑞典公共采购的招标过程是一次价格密封的竞标拍卖。虽然在这类拍卖中对出价有竞争效果，但订约实体可以通过选择采购程序来限制出价人数。本文对这一选择进行了研究，并对缔约实体施加了执行成本以激励这种限制。根据瑞典市政当局的数据得出的结果表明，合同规格和市政特点(假定会影响执行费用)影响采购量和投标人数量，但不一定影响采购程序的选择。
The bidding process in public procurement in Sweden is a first-price sealed bid auction. Although there is a competitive effect on the bids in this type of auction, the contracting entity can, through the choice of procurement procedure, restrict the number of bidders. This paper studies this choice and imposes an implementation cost on the contracting entity to motivate such a restriction. The results, based on data for Swedish municipalities, suggest that contract specifications and municipality characteristics (that are assumed to influence the implementation cost) affect the volume of the procurement and the number of bidders but not necessarily the choice of procurement procedure.
