hankintamenetelmä

Hankintamenetelmä refers to the procurement methods used in the acquisition of goods, services, or works by organizations, typically in the public sector. These methods are governed by laws and regulations to ensure transparency, fairness, and efficiency in the procurement process. The choice of hankintamenetelmä depends on various factors, including the nature of the procurement, its value, urgency, and the need for competition.

In Finland, the Act on Public Contracts (Laki julkisista hankinnoista) outlines the different hankintamenetelmät that public sector organizations must follow. The most common methods include open tendering (avoin tarjouskilpailu), restricted tendering (rajoitettu tarjouskilpailu), negotiated procedure (neuvottelumenetelmä), and competitive dialogue (kilpaileva dialogi). Each method has specific rules regarding the invitation of tenders, evaluation criteria, and the awarding of contracts.

Open tendering is the most transparent method, where all interested suppliers are invited to submit tenders. Restricted tendering involves a preliminary selection of suppliers who are then invited to submit tenders. The negotiated procedure allows for direct negotiations with one or more suppliers, often used when the needs are complex or urgent. Competitive dialogue is used for highly complex procurements, involving an iterative process of discussions with suppliers to develop and refine the procurement solution.

The choice of hankintamenetelmä can significantly impact the outcome of a procurement process. Organizations must carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of each method to ensure they select the most appropriate approach for their specific needs. Adherence to the prescribed procedures is crucial to maintain the integrity and legality of the procurement process.
