Invitation to market dialogue: Kutila Canal implementation phase contract and material procurements This notice relates to a potential future procurement procedure concerning the upcoming procurements for the Kutila Canal project. The contracting authority aims to launch a tender competition (or competitions) with a procurement notice to be published in November 2026, seeking candidates to implement the Kutila Canal project. The project's construction plans are complete, and the water permit is legally valid. The project as a whole connects Lake Pien-Saimaa and Lake Suur-Saimaa at the Umianlampi and Kutilanlahti sections. The project aims to improve the water quality of Lake Pien-Saimaa, facilitate water traffic on southern Saimaa, and promote various industries, such as cruise tourism and nature tourism. The canal project includes an 11 km local (2.4 m) boat channel connecting the existing waterways, excavated canal sections (400 m + 100 m), and canal structures at Umianlampi. Additionally, two pumping stations will be built, one in connection with the canal and another at Kopinsalmi, and a flow opening at Käkeläntaipale (approx. 100 m in length) will be constructed. The project also includes the construction of a bridge spanning the canal, 126 meters long with a clearance of 18.5 m, along with necessary road arrangements.
