Ilmoitustyyppi: Ennakkoilmoitus julkisesta hankinnasta

The purpose of this prior information notice is to inform about and prepare the market for a coming competition. This prior information notice is not intended to shorten the tender deadline in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations §20-2 (2).

NHN wants to start a procurement process for broadband access for small and medium sized locations. The accesses are used by members in the health network, service providers and entities in the central health management. The accesses represent an important part of a robust and secure infrastructure for transporting digital services for the entire health and welfare sector.

Limitations: Accesses to large locations such as hospitals, computer centres etc. are not a part of this procurement. The aim is to enter into an agreement with one or several tenderers. Furthermore, we see great opportunities in further developing digital interaction systems that make NHNs and the supplier's work processes more efficient for the establishment, operation and termination of accesses.

The Contracting Authority intends to sign a contract by the end of 2026, starting the agreement from January 2027.
