utlysas

Utlysas is the present passive form of the Swedish verb utlysa, meaning to publish, announce, or call publicly for something such as a competition, tender, or grant. In Swedish administrative and procurement language, utlysas signals that a formal notice has been issued inviting participation or bids. The form is used when referring to the status of a public opportunity in official notices, on government portals, and in media.

Usage and nuance: Utlysas is typically used for formal calls that invite external actors to participate. It is common in tender announcements, grant calls, and public competitions. The related nouns include upphandling (procurement) and annonsering (advertising). While utlysas emphasizes the act of making a call public, annonseras emphasizes general advertisement and public notice.

Examples: Konkurrensen utlysas av myndigheten. Anbudet utlysas i dag på myndighetens webbplats. Ny upphandlingsannons utlysas samtidigt i flera tidningar. See also: annons, upphandling.
