hankekonkurss

Hankekonkurss refers to a public procurement process in Estonia. It is the legal framework and procedure by which contracting authorities, such as government bodies and municipalities, award contracts for goods, services, or works. The primary goal of the hankekonkurss is to ensure fair competition, transparency, and efficiency in the use of public funds. It aims to obtain the best value for money by allowing all eligible economic operators to participate and submit bids.

The process is governed by the Public Procurement Act and related regulations. Key stages typically involve publishing a procurement notice, allowing potential bidders to submit their offers, evaluating these offers based on predefined criteria (such as price and technical specifications), and ultimately awarding the contract to the most economically advantageous tender. There are specific rules and timelines that must be followed to guarantee fairness and prevent corruption. Different types of procurement procedures exist, depending on the value and nature of the contract, including open procedures, restricted procedures, and negotiated procedures. Decisions made during the hankekonkurss can be challenged by bidders who believe their rights have been violated through an appeals process.
