Introduction

Helsingin Asumisoikeus Oy, a public undertaking operating in housing and community amenities, has conducted an accelerated open procedure for HASO's digital work environment. The whole includes the workstations and workstation equipment needed by users, phones, AV equipment for meeting rooms, and the office's local network procurement, as well as related deployment, management, support, maintenance and lifecycle services.

A more detailed description of the whole to be procured is in the annex Procurement Object.

The procedure was accelerated.

The procurement is not financed with EU funds but is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). The evaluation criteria are price (70 points) and quality (30 points). Three tenders were received from medium tenderers. One winner was appointed: Netox Oy (medium enterprise). No subcontracting was declared. The contract was concluded on 08/10/2026.
