SMARTtyyppiset

SMARTtyyppiset is a Finnish concept referring to a set of classification types used in public procurement and project management. It is a structured approach for categorizing tendering and project characteristics into specific categories. The goal of SMARTtyyppiset is to enhance transparency, efficiency, and quality in the procurement process.

SMARTtyyppiset is an acronym for Suunnittelumuotoisuuden Sovelluksessa ja Rakenteellisessa Troubleekonomisessa Teollisuustalossa Tyypillisyyttä (Design variability in the application and structural trouble economy industry type). This system divides public procurement into distinct categories, allowing for a more precise matchmaking between suppliers and procurement needs.

The framework consists of several categories, including design complexity, product complexity, delivery terms, time targeting, value, and cost dimensions. By applying these categories, buyers can provide a clearer picture of the procurement needs, and suppliers can better assess their competitiveness.

SMARTtyyppiset has been in use in the public procurement and construction industries in Finland since its development in the early 2000s. Implementing SMARTtyyppiset can lead to more efficient and effective procurement processes, better project outcomes, and improved collaboration between buyers and suppliers.

Overall, SMARTtyyppiset represents an innovative and organized approach to public procurement and project management in Finland. By standardizing classification types and improving the procurement process, it aims to increase transparency, reduce administrative burdens, and enhance the overall efficiency of the construction industry.
