07 Oct 2026
Helsingin kaupunki, kasvatuksen ja koulutuksen toimiala, a local authority operating in education, has awarded framework agreements for the procurement of various technical work woodworking machines, equipment and supplies for basic education (Erilaisten teknisen työn puuntyöstökoneiden, -laitteiden, ja tarvikkeiden hankinta perusopetukseen). The maximum value of the framework agreements is €2,000,000.00, covering machine tools for working wood, woodworking equipment and sawing equipment, with an initial contract period from 01/09/2026 to 31/08/2028. The contracts were awarded following an open procedure under the standard regime, governed by EU Directive 2014/24/EU. Introduction Helsingin kaupunki, kasvatuksen ja koulutuksen toimiala (City of Helsinki, Education Division), a local authority operating in education, has conducted an open procedure for the procurement of various technical work woodworking machines, equipment and supplies for basic education. The procurement was divided into 25 sub-areas, including circular saws, band saws, surface planers, thickness planers, grinding machines, wood lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, workbenches, and other woodworking equipment. The purpose of the procurement is to form a framework arrangement in which two (2) contract suppliers are selected for each sub-area in order of priority: one (1) primary supplier and one (1) backup supplier. A tenderer may submit a tender for one or more sub-areas. If only one acceptable tender is received for a sub-area, only one contract supplier is selected. The framework arrangement lasts two (2) years. The preliminary contract period is 1.9.2026 – 31.8.2028. The procurement contract expires without separate termination. After the actual contract period, it is possible to extend the contract period by a maximum of two (2) option years. The contracting authority decides separately on the use of the option no later than three (3) months before the end of the actual contract period. The products covered by the procurement must be delivered no later than 90 days from receipt of the order. The contracting authority has no volume purchase obligation, and orders will be placed during the contract period as needed. Orders are placed from the supplier of the relevant sub-area in order of priority when purchasing standard products under the framework agreement. If the primary supplier is unable to deliver the products in accordance with the framework agreement, the contracting authority has the right to order the products from the backup supplier. In this case, the primary supplier is obliged to compensate the contracting authority for the price difference paid. The delivery term is TOP Helsinki (Finnterms 2001), delivered to the indoor premises designated by the customer. The procurement is not financed with EU funds but is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). Strategic procurement objectives were specified: human rights due diligence in global supply chains and fair working conditions. The evaluation criteria are price (85 points) and quality (15 points). No tenders were received from micro tenderers for the lots (0 received). Winners were appointed across the 25 lots: Ab Bäck & Co Oy (medium enterprise) and Step Systems Oy (medium enterprise). No subcontracting was declared. The contracts were concluded on 05/10/2026. The maximum value of the framework agreements in this notice is €2,000,000.00.
