hankintailmoiteluissa

Hankintailmoittelu refers to the publication of notices related to public procurement processes in Finland. These announcements are legally mandated to ensure transparency and equal opportunity for businesses interested in supplying goods, services, or works to public entities. The primary goal is to inform potential bidders about upcoming tender opportunities, allowing them to prepare and submit their proposals.

The nature and content of hankintailmoittelu depend on the value and type of the procurement. For contracts exceeding certain EU thresholds, a contract notice must be published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and often also in national publications. For smaller procurements, national announcements may suffice. These notices typically include details such as the contracting authority, the subject of the procurement, estimated value, deadlines for submitting tenders, and contact information.

Finnish legislation, particularly the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts, outlines the specific requirements for hankintailmoittelu. Electronic platforms, such as HILMA (the national electronic public procurement portal), are widely used for publishing these notices, facilitating easier access for businesses and streamlining the procurement process for authorities. The aim is to foster competition and ensure that public funds are used efficiently and in accordance with legal principles.
