Child protection foster care direct procurement from 8.8.2025, RJ/250068
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThe North Karelia Wellbeing Services County is undertaking a direct procurement for client-specific foster care services required for child protection. This procurement will be conducted with Pienkoti Aura Oy's Liperin pirtti unit, commencing on August 8, 2025, and continuing indefinitely. The decision for direct procurement stems from the inability to find a suitable, available foster care placement that meets a child's specific needs within the pool of providers selected through the dynamic purchasing system (ID 492908 / Procurement System for Purchased Child Protection Services). The procuring entity is permitted to engage in direct procurement in individual cases for social and healthcare services, as per Chapter 12, Section 110 of the Public Procurement Act, when organizing a competitive tender would be manifestly unreasonable and disproportionately inappropriate for the child, particularly to ensure the continuity of a significant care and client relationship. The estimated total value of this procurement is EUR 868,700 (excluding VAT), exceeding the national threshold. For an indefinite contract, this value has been calculated over a 48-month period. As this procurement pertains to social and healthcare services, as defined in Annex E, Section 1 of the Public Procurement Act (1397/2016) [CPV code; 85311300-5 Social services for children and young people], the provisions of Section 107 of the Public Procurement Act will be applied.
This is a services contract in the social protection, health and medical services and humanitarian aid sectors, with a focus on Child Protection. Located in Finland, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 868,700.
