ostopäätteisiin

Ostopäätteisiin is a term used in Finnish economics to refer to performance indicators that measure the output and outcome of a public or private organization. The term "ostopäätteisiin" translates to "procurement criteria" in English, but in the context of Finnish public administration, it encompasses a broader range of concepts related to performance measurement.

In the field of public procurement, ochrankänne (output indicators) are used to measure the actual performance of a procured service or product, such as the number of customers served or the quality of goods delivered. Perhepäätteisiin (outcome indicators), on the other hand, are used to measure the ultimate goals or objectives of a procured service or product, such as the improved health outcomes of a population or the increased economic growth of a region.

The use of ostopäätteisiin in Finland is guided by the Public Procurement Act, which requires public sector organizations to publish performance indicators for their procurement activities. This transparency is intended to promote competition, efficiency, and accountability in public procurement processes. By making ostopäätteisiin publicly available, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to excellence and value for money, which can help to build trust between government, citizens, and businesses.
