Menettelyn tärkeimmät piirteet

1. NOTIFICATION OF PROCUREMENT AND PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE

2.1 Checking that the tenderers meet the suitability requirements set for them

In the handling of tenders, it is checked whether the tenderers meet the suitability requirements set for the tenderer's registration, financial and economic situation, and technical and professional competence. A tenderer who does not meet the set suitability requirements is excluded from the competition.

If the tenderer or a member of its administrative, management, or supervisory body, or a person exercising representation, decision-making, or control authority, has been convicted of a crime referred to in section 80 of the procurement law, the tenderer is excluded from the competition. In addition, a tenderer may be excluded from the competition if the discretionary exclusion criterion referred to in section 81 of the procurement law applies to them. However, if the tenderer presents evidence of its reliability in accordance with section 82 of the procurement law, despite being subject to the exclusion criterion referred to in sections 80 or 81, and if the procurement unit considers the evidence and reliability sufficient, the tenderer is not excluded from the competition.

2.2 Evaluation of compliance of the tenders with the call for tenders

The offered products and services must comply with the content of the call for tenders and its attachments. The tenderer must respond to all required points and attach all required certificates/statements to their tender.

The contract can be signed at the earliest when there are no obstacles to its signing as referred to in the procurement law, such as an enforcement ban.

No compensation is paid to tenderers for making the tender, presenting it, or participating in the procedure.

The procurement is not divided into parts, as it is not profitable considering the scope of the service package to be procured. Dividing into parts does not add value to the call for tenders, and not dividing the procurement into parts is not related to the exclusion of tenderers.
