This paper addresses the Cauchy problem for the quasi-variational sweeping process in the ordered Hilbert space HH -u^{\prime}(t) \in N_{C(t,u(t))}(u(t)) \quad \text{for a.e. $\, t \in (0,T),$% } \ \ u(0)=u_0, where the set C(t,u(t))H\, C(t,u(t)) \subset H \, is non-convex and NC(t,u(t))\, N_{C(t,u(t))} \, denotes its normal cone. We provide an existence result based on the classical implicit time-discretization procedure and on a fixed point argument in ordered spaces.
