alihankintavalmistus

Alihankintavalmistus is a Finnish concept that translates to "low-value procurement" or "low-value spending review" in English. It refers to the systematic review and analysis of low-value expenditures, with the aim of identifying opportunities for cost optimization and reducing non-essential expenses.

In the context of public procurement, alihankintavalmistus involves evaluating contracts for goods and services with low purchase values, typically below a specific threshold. This includes reviewing contracts for routine or repetitive purchases, such as office supplies, maintenance services, or small equipment purchases. The goal is to ensure that these expenditures are necessary, efficiently priced, and properly documented.

Alihankintavalmistus is designed to promote transparency and accountability in public administration, particularly in the areas of procurement and finance. By regularly reviewing low-value expenditures, authorities can identify areas for improvement and implement cost-saving measures.

The process typically involves several steps, including:

1. Identification of contracts and spending

2. Analysis of costs and pricing

3. Verification of necessity and compliance with regulations

4. Recommendations for cost optimization or additional documentation

Alihankintavalmistus is not limited to public procurement; private companies and organizations can also benefit from conducting regular reviews of low-value expenditures to improve their financial management and reduce unnecessary costs.
