A negotiation round's call for tenders is drafted in the same way as for a national procurement notification. As this is a restricted notice, all of the compulsory HILMA selections are removed.
Before publication, the publication view requires one of the following to be selected:
- "Suppliers are requested to submit a tender"
- Suppliers submit tenders using the Tarjouspalvelu supplier portal as normal
- "No tender requested from suppliers"
- The "Submit tender" function is hidden on the Tarjouspalvelu supplier portal because this stage only involves suppliers familiarising themselves with the content without receiving any responses/tenders from them
- The "Submit tender" function is hidden on the Tarjouspalvelu supplier portal because this stage only involves suppliers familiarising themselves with the content without receiving any responses/tenders from them
- The notification will only be published for the supplier who were selected in the participation application phase for inclusion in the negotiated procedure. The selected suppliers will be sent an email with a direct link to the negotiation round. By following this link, suppliers are taken to the supplier portal, where they can log in and then view the information about the negotiation round.
NOTE: If logged-in users of a particular supplier company cannot see the negotiation round on the company's Tarjouspalvelu supplier portal under open calls for tenders, contact system support.
