Description

MARKET RESEARCH: Legal and legal services (framework agreement) We are making Hämeenlinna the best public procurer in Finland! Therefore, we want our potential future procurement described in this market research to also be the best in Finland. For this, we need the help of actors who value honest and open dialogue with the contracting authority, who enjoy competition, and who want to represent the best in their field. This is a market research according to Finland's new procurement law. All information in this market research is preliminary and therefore does not bind the City of Hämeenlinna in any way. PRELIMINARY DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCUREMENT The City of Hämeenlinna is planning to tender a framework agreement for legal and legal services. The goal is to form a functional cooperation network from which the city can flexibly procure supplementary legal expert services according to its needs. The city has its own lawyer, so the purpose of the framework agreement is not the total outsourcing of legal services, but rather to supplement the city's own legal expertise in matters requiring special expertise and, if necessary, to assist in legal proceedings and represent the city. The framework agreement is intended to cover key legal areas for the city's operations, such as state aid, data protection and data regulation, labor law, dispute resolution, and contract law, issues related to construction contracts, and general administrative law. Public procurements are not covered by the framework agreement. The aforementioned areas are preliminary examples. The market research will also investigate the inclusion of other areas relevant to the city's operations and how categorization would best support the practical utilization of the framework agreement. In addition, the market research aims to identify operating models and pricing principles that support smooth cooperation. REGISTRATION Interested parties are requested to indicate their interest in participating in a potential procurement through the Tarjouspalvelu portal. Responding to the market research is not a prerequisite for participating in a potential future tender competition. Please submit registrations by 6.11.2026 at 4:00 PM. OTHER INFORMATION This is not a request for proposals or a procurement notice, so the publication of this notice does not initiate a tender competition; it is a market research. This notice does not oblige the City of Hämeenlinna to carry out the actual procurement. Failure to respond to the market research does not prevent participation in a potential tender competition, nor does responding to the market research affect the bidder's position in any potential tender competition. The City of Hämeenlinna does not pay compensation for responding to the market research or for participating in the market research and market dialogue.
