Development work for the implementation of Ryhti system requirements in planning and municipal information systems
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns development work aimed at fulfilling the requirements of the Ryhti system within planning and municipal information systems. Finland is undergoing a reform of land use and building legislation, which includes the adoption of the Act on Information Systems for the Built Environment (RYTJ Act). This legislation, along with the forthcoming Land Use Act and Building Act, will mandate municipalities to submit data generated from zoning and building permits to the national information system for the built environment, known as the Ryhti system. Specific datasets originating from zoning processes must be delivered in a data model format to the Ryhti system starting from the beginning of 2029. Consequently, the methods for creating zoning plans and processing the resulting data will evolve, necessitating municipalities to enhance their internal workflows and potentially adopt new information systems and software.
The City of Jämsä applied for funding for a partnership testing project on August 29, 2023, through a call for applications related to the modernization of information management in the built environment for municipalities and regional councils. The Ministry of the Environment granted Jämsä the requested subsidy of €98,075 on October 3, 2023. The project involved the City of Jämsä and Ubigu Oy, providing expert services. The development work has focused on further enhancing an application exclusively owned by Ubigu Oy, which was not generally available at the project's commencement, leveraging state subsidies. This approach aligns with Section 40, Paragraph 2, Item 2 of the Public Procurement Act, allowing for direct procurement when only a specific supplier can fulfill the contract due to technical reasons or intellectual property rights, provided no reasonable alternatives exist and competition has not been artificially restricted.
This is a supplies contract in the information and communication technology, legal services and general supplies sectors. Located in Finland, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 98,075.

Description
Auto-translated from fiDevelopment work for the implementation of Ryhti system requirements in planning and municipal information systems. At the national level, the Land Use and Building Act is being reformed, and the Act on Information Systems for the Built Environment (RYTJ Act) has also been enacted. The RYTJ Act, the upcoming Land Use Act with its decrees, and the Building Act will oblige municipalities to submit data generated in zoning and building permitting to the national information system for the built environment (RYHTI system). The data referred to in the RYTJ Act must be submitted to the RYHTI system by the beginning of 2029 at the latest.
Some of the data generated in zoning must be submitted in a data model format to the future national RYHTI system. This means that the way plans are drawn up and the plan data produced is processed will change in the coming years, and this will require municipalities to develop their own work processes and possibly adopt new information systems and software.
On August 29, 2023, the City of Jämsä submitted a grant application for a partnership testing project through the grant call for the reform of information management in the built environment for municipalities and regional councils. The call for applications was published on May 5, 2023. A total of EUR 98,075 was applied for, and the Ministry of the Environment granted the City of Jämsä the subsidy as applied for by decision dated October 3, 2023. The partners in the project were the City of Jämsä and Ubigu Oy, providing expert services.
According to Section 40, Paragraph 2, Clause 2 of the Procurement Act (1397/2016), the contracting authority may choose a direct procurement if, for technical reasons or reasons related to the protection of exclusive rights, only a specific supplier can carry out the procurement; an additional condition is that there are no reasonable alternative or substitute solutions and that the lack of competition is not due to an artificial restriction of the procurement conditions.
With state funding, the application owned exclusively by Ubigu Oy was further developed. This application was not generally available on the market at the start of the project, meaning in practice no other expert company could have carried out the procurement. No alternative or substitute solutions were available on the market. A completely new cloud-based tool for creating data model-based plans was developed in the project, with full interoperability with the national RYHTI information system as the starting point.
