Lõpphankena

Lõpphankena is an Estonian term that translates to "final procurement" or "final tender." It refers to the concluding stage of a public or private procurement process. This stage involves the final selection of a supplier or contractor and the awarding of a contract for goods, services, or works. The lõpphankena is a critical phase where all previous steps, including the publication of tenders, evaluation of bids, and negotiations, culminate in a definitive agreement. The process is governed by specific regulations and procedures to ensure fairness, transparency, and efficiency. The aim is to secure the best possible value for the contracting authority while adhering to legal and ethical standards. The successful completion of the lõpphankena leads to the formal commencement of the contracted work or delivery of goods and services. Failure to properly execute this final stage can result in disputes, delays, and financial repercussions.
