Kyselykutsun

Kyselykutsun is a Finnish term that translates to "query invitation" or "request for proposal" in English. It is a formal process used by organizations, often public sector entities, to solicit bids or proposals from potential suppliers for goods, services, or works. The kyselykutsun document outlines the specific requirements, technical specifications, evaluation criteria, and contractual terms of the proposed procurement.

The purpose of a kyselykutsun is to ensure a fair and transparent procurement process, allowing multiple vendors to compete for a contract. This competition can lead to better value for money, higher quality offerings, and innovation. Typically, organizations issue a kyselykutsun when the exact nature of the solution or the market price is not immediately clear, or when they want to explore a range of potential solutions from different providers.

The process usually involves several stages. First, the issuing organization prepares and publishes the kyselykutsun document. Interested suppliers then review the document, ask clarifying questions, and prepare their proposals by the specified deadline. The organization then evaluates these proposals based on the pre-defined criteria, which may include price, technical merit, experience, and social responsibility. Finally, the organization selects the winning bid and awards the contract. This structured approach aims to achieve the best possible outcome for the organization while upholding principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination among potential suppliers.
