Tarjoushinnat

Tarjoushinnat are prices provided by sellers in response to requests for quotation or tenders. They express the proposed price for goods or services, often presented as a unit price or a total bid, and typically include terms such as delivery, payment, and applicable taxes. The quoted price is usually valid for a defined period during which the buyer may accept the offer.

In procurement, public authorities and private buyers publish requests for quotations or invitations to tender, and suppliers submit tarjoushinnat in accordance with the bidding documents. Price is an important criterion, but many procurements use a combined evaluation that also considers quality, performance, delivery time, and lifecycle costs. Tarjoushinnat are compared across bidders to determine the most economical or compliant bid.

A tarjoushinta may comprise line-item prices, a total price, and related conditions such as delivery terms, installation, maintenance, warranties, and service levels. Documents accompanying the offer often specify currency, value-added tax handling, lead times, and payment terms. The scope defined in the procurement documents determines what is priced, and changes in scope can lead to price adjustments through addenda or contract amendments.

Once a contract is awarded, the accepted tarjoushinta becomes binding under the agreement. If changes are required, revised pricing may be proposed within the framework of the procurement rules and contract terms. Tarjoushinnat thus function as the quoted price basis for competitive purchasing and contract formation.
