About This Opportunity
TranslatedThe North Karelia Wellbeing Services County is undertaking a direct procurement for client-specific foster care services required for child protection, provided by Arianna of Saalinki Oy. This contract is set to commence on December 5, 2025, and will remain in effect indefinitely. This procurement is being conducted because no suitable and available foster care placements meeting the child's specific needs could be identified from the pool of providers selected through the dynamic purchasing system (492908 / Procurement System for Purchased Child Protection Services). According to Chapter 12, Section 110 of the Procurement Act, a contracting authority may engage in direct procurement for social and healthcare services in individual cases if organizing a competitive tender would be manifestly unreasonable and disproportionately inappropriate for the child, particularly concerning the continuity of care and the client relationship.

For an indefinite contract, this value has been calculated over a 48-month period.

Consequently, the procurement will adhere to the regulations stipulated in Section 107 of the Procurement Act.
