tilaanilmaisus

Tilaanilmaisus is a Finnish term that translates to "request for proposal" or "invitation to tender" in English. It is a formal process used by organizations, particularly in the public sector, to solicit proposals from potential suppliers for goods, services, or works. The primary goal of a tilaanilmaisus is to ensure fair competition, transparency, and value for money when procuring significant items or projects.

The tilaanilmaisus process typically begins with the issuing of a detailed document outlining the requirements, specifications, scope of work, evaluation criteria, and contractual terms. Interested parties, known as tenderers or bidders, then prepare and submit their proposals within a specified deadline. These proposals are evaluated by the procuring organization based on predefined criteria, which often include a combination of price, technical merit, quality, experience, and delivery timelines.

The tilaanilmaisus procedure is designed to prevent favoritism and corruption by providing a structured and documented approach to procurement. It allows for a thorough assessment of various options and helps ensure that the chosen supplier is the most suitable one for the organization's needs. The process is governed by specific regulations and laws, especially in public procurement, to uphold principles of equal treatment and proportionality.
