Hankintamuodoissa

Hankintamuodoissa (procurement methods) refer to the various approaches and procedures used by organizations to acquire goods, services, or works. These methods are essential for ensuring that procurement processes are efficient, transparent, and compliant with applicable laws and regulations. Different procurement methods are selected based on factors such as the value of the purchase, complexity, market conditions, and the desired level of competition.

Common hankintamuodoissa include open procedures, restricted procedures, negotiated procedures, and competitive dialogues. Open procedure, also known as public tendering, is characterized by broad participation, allowing any interested supplier to submit an offer. Restricted procedures limit participation to selected suppliers who meet specific criteria, ensuring a more targeted process. Negotiated procedures involve direct negotiations with one or more suppliers, often used in specialized or urgent cases. The competitive dialogue method facilitates discussions between the buyer and suppliers to develop suitable solutions for complex needs.

Other forms include framework agreements, where terms are established with suppliers for repeated purchases over a period, and direct procurement, which is used for small or emergency purchases without a competitive process. The selection of procurement method influences the transparency, fairness, and efficiency of the purchasing process and must adhere to applicable legislation, such as the Finnish Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts.

Each procurement method serves specific purposes and balances different priorities, such as cost-effectiveness, market fairness, and procedural simplicity. Proper understanding and application of hankintamuodoissa are vital for organizations to achieve value for money and foster healthy market competition.
