Public procurement

The city is publicly funded and has a specific public interest mission as defined by law. The City is therefore a “public purchaser”, which must comply with the Public Procurement Act (1397/2016) in the procurement of goods and services.

The city as a whole is a contracting entity within the meaning of the Public Procurement Act and the procurement of employees is considered as a whole from the perspective of the Public Procurement Act.

In the city, procurements are made:

• within framework agreements (i.e. suppliers or service providers put out to tender by the city or used by Hansel Ltd or Sarastia Ltd on the basis of a city connection contract).
• with the Turku regional contracting entity, which allows participation in tenders and framework contracts awarded by that entity.
• from suppliers selected on the basis of separate invitations to tender, and only exceptionally, in specific situations governed by the Public Procurement Code, from suppliers selected without a call for competition.In the City of Laitila, procurement is carried out by each administrative department with the procurement decision-making powers defined in the City’s administrative regulations or procurement guidelines. The Finance Director is responsible for coordinating procurement for the whole city.
