Konkursipõhiselt

Konkursipõhiselt is an Estonian term that translates to "on a competitive basis" or "through a competition." It describes a process or method where selection, award, or allocation is determined by comparing multiple submissions or candidates against predefined criteria. This approach is common in various sectors, including procurement, grant allocation, artistic endeavors, and employment.

In the context of public procurement or tenders, konkursipõhiselt means that contracts are awarded to the bidder who offers the best value, not necessarily the lowest price, based on a set of evaluation criteria. This could include quality, technical merit, delivery time, and price. Similarly, when applying for grants or funding, organizations or individuals submit proposals, and the most compelling or best-aligned projects are selected through a competitive review process.

The principle of konkursipõhiselt aims to ensure fairness, transparency, and efficiency by encouraging diverse proposals and selecting the most suitable option. It implies that there is an open call or invitation for submissions, followed by an evaluation phase where different applications are assessed and ranked. The outcome is the selection of one or more successful candidates or proposals that best meet the stated objectives and requirements of the competition. This method is widely employed to achieve optimal results and foster a level playing field for participants.
