Ulricehamns kommun is seeking physical gift and gift-choice cards for goods as part of its recognition programme for employees completing 25 years of service. The Swedish municipality's procurement first appeared in the public registry on September 16.

The notice estimates the contract at SEK699,999 excluding VAT. Separately, it describes each qualifying employee's commemorative gift as equivalent to one-tenth of the statutory price base amount, including VAT. These are different measures: the procurement estimate is not the value of a single employee's card.

Gifts are distributed during an annual autumn ceremony. The advertised goods categories include jewellery, watches, sports equipment, ceramics and art, without identifying a selected gift-card issuer or acceptance network.

The notice set September 27 as the bid deadline and proposed a contract running from October 12, 2026 to October 11, 2030. It contains no supplier award or confirmed distribution total.

The September 15 dispatch and September 28 listing refresh are separate from the verified September 16 first public registry date. The newly documented event is the purchasing procedure, rather than a claim that long-service recognition itself is a new programme.
