Hankittavista

Hankittavista is a Finnish term used primarily in procurement and contract language to refer to items, goods, or services that are intended to be acquired. It is the plural form associated with the participle hankittava, which originates from the verb hankkia (to procure). In procurement texts, phrases such as hankittavista kohteista or hankittavista tuotteista designate the set of items that are planned for purchase. In grammatical terms, hankittava is a present passive participle meaning “procureable” or “to be procured,” and hankittavista is the form used to indicate that those things are to be procured, typically functioning as a noun phrase or modifier within a sentence.

Usage and examples in practice: Government procurement guidelines and corporate planning documents may reference hankittavista as a category or group of items to be acquired. For example, a plan might state that technical specifications will be prepared for hankittavista tuotteista, or that the procurement decision concerns hankittavia palveluita. The construction is common in formal Finnish writing and budgetary or tender contexts, where precise delineation of purchasable items is required.

Origins and scope: The term is not a standalone concept with a separate legal definition; rather, it emerges from Finnish grammar and its use in practical procurement language. Its relevance lies in readability and specificity when listing items, services, or materials designated for future purchase.
