Tiedonhallintaketjun

Tiedonhallintaketjun is a framework for government contracting and procurement in Finland. The term roughly translates to "information management chain" or "data management chain" in English.

The Tiedonhallintaketjun framework is based on the idea of a continuous and transparent data flow between the government and private sector organizations. It aims to facilitate open and fair competition, as well as to ensure the quality and efficiency of public procurement processes.

Under Tiedonhallintaketjun, public sector organizations are required to use a common set of standardized documentation and data formats when exchanging information with private sector companies. This enables a seamless flow of information and reduces the need for data conversion or interpretation.

The framework is part of the Finnish government's efforts to promote transparency, efficiency, and innovation in public procurement. It is designed to support the country's policy goals of increasing the use of digital technologies and improving the overall quality of public services.

Tiedonhallintaketjun is supported by a range of tools and technologies, including electronic procurement platforms and data exchange systems. The framework is continuously developed and improved by the Finnish Government and other stakeholders, in collaboration with private sector partners.

The use of Tiedonhallintaketjun has been widespread in Finland, with many public sector organizations and private companies implementing the framework as a way to improve their procurement processes and strengthen their competitiveness.
