Description
Auto-translated from fiForest management works 2026-2028+option General principles of forest management
The City of Raisio owns approximately 600 hectares of forest. The forests serve as local recreational areas for the citizens, where biodiversity is preserved and the characteristic landscape is maintained.
The aim of management is to preserve the forest landscape and original nature, vegetation, and fauna, as well as to ensure opportunities for outdoor recreation. Economic forests are managed using continuous cover forestry to keep the forest covered. Diverse mixed stands are left in the forest during management operations.
Raisio belongs to the hemiboreal zone, which is the natural distribution area of the pedunculate oak. Therefore, oaks are particularly favored in the forests of the City of Raisio, as they have been observed to regenerate abundantly in several forest areas. No clear-cutting is carried out in Raisio except during the construction of new zoning areas or for a particularly well-justified reason.
In the future, landscape and environmental values, biodiversity, and nature-based forest management will be increasingly emphasized in the management of Raisio's forests. Diverse natural forests with diverse fauna and flora will be left in various parts of the city. The city's forests are freely available for recreation and outdoor activities. The right of public access also allows for mushroom and berry picking.
The aim of the forest plan is sustainable forest management and biodiversity-promoting activities. Maximizing logging revenue is not the goal of the forest plan. Approximately 70% of Raisio's forests are urban forest / local forest.
The forest services contract includes service packages related to forest management and seedling establishment, assistance with timber sales and consulting, and timber harvesting services.
The service provider will plan, manage, and execute forest management works in the forests owned by the client in such a way that the works are carried out at the right time according to the client's needs and objectives. In urban forests, landscape management and the utilization of recreational opportunities are also taken into account. The service provider will propose the management and logging works to be carried out annually to the client, and their execution will be agreed upon separately between the client and the service provider.
The client does not commit to annual minimum quantities or quantities covering the entire contract period. The service provider will prepare a report on the management works performed. The client has a forest plan, which the client requires the service provider to maintain. The plan can be transferred to other systems within the limits of software restrictions.
The service provider has the right to use subcontractors. A longer subcontracting chain will not be approved without a specific reason. The service provider will invoice the works performed by their subcontractors and is responsible for their work and service quality as if it were their own. The service provider must have subcontractors approved by the client.
Forest management works must meet the quality criteria of good forest management (appendix: Mhy-ketjun_Tyoohjeet_2023). The quality criteria are based on the recommendations for good forest management and forestry legislation. The service and its provider must meet the quality, competence, and other requirements set out in this request for proposals.

The contract will follow the general terms and conditions of public procurement for service procurements (JYSE 2025).,
