Key facts
armasuisse is the competence centre for procurement, technology and real estate within the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport (DDPS). Its procurement volume amounted to CHF 2.3 billion in 2021 and CHF 9.3 billion in 2022. The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) examined whether armasuisse has adequate compliance requirements that focus on preventing corruption and whether these are also being enforced. This was done using selected individual cases. In addition, the SFAO reviewed the implementation of three recommendations from an external analysis on improving procurement processes at the DDPS.
