Labor law requirements for suppliers in procurement

Contract agreements must be carried out in accordance with the conditions for wages, vacation, and working hours as set out in TDOK 2020:0262. Contractors must also ensure that these conditions are met by subcontractors, regardless of the number of tiers, and have procedures in place for how this is to be achieved. The conditions for wages, vacation, and working hours apply regardless of the employee’s employer or country of origin.

Trafikverket also requires that goods and services be produced under conditions consistent with:

• The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights
• The eight ILO core conventions on forced labor, child labor, discrimination, and freedom of association and the right to organize
• The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, Article 32
• The occupational health and safety legislation applicable in the country of manufacture
• The labor law, including minimum wage legislation, and social security protections applicable in the country of manufacture
• The environmental legislation applicable in the country where the work is carried out
• The UN Convention against Corruption

These requirements also apply throughout the entire supply chain.

As a supplier to Trafikverket, you will be asked to report on how you work to meet the labor law conditions. This can be done in different ways, for example through various types of meetings, via a self-assessment form, or through an audit.

You must submit the self-assessment form to us when requested. The form is available below under “Reporting Form.” The form specifies the information required. One form is for contractors and one for goods and services.
