hankintapäätökseen

Hankintapäätös refers to the decision made in the procurement process. This decision signifies the conclusion of the evaluation of tenders or offers and the selection of the winning bidder. It is a crucial step that formally commits the procuring entity to a contract with a specific supplier.

The process leading to a hankintapäätös typically involves several stages. These include defining the need, preparing specifications, inviting tenders, evaluating submitted bids based on predefined criteria, and finally, making the decision. The evaluation criteria can include price, quality, technical capabilities, delivery times, and environmental considerations, among others.

In public procurement in Finland, for instance, the hankintapäätös is subject to specific legal regulations, such as the Finnish Procurement Act. These regulations aim to ensure fairness, transparency, and non-discrimination throughout the procurement process. If a tenderer believes that the hankintapäätös has been made incorrectly or unfairly, they may have grounds to appeal the decision.

The hankintapäätös is typically communicated to all tenderers, informing them of the outcome of the procurement. The winning bidder is then invited to conclude a contract. The content and justification of the hankintapäätös are often documented for record-keeping and to ensure accountability. This decision marks the transition from the planning and selection phase to the implementation phase of the procurement.
