This procedure allows 65 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 32 (median of 1,471 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.

Foreign bidders

Submission language: Finnish.

Measured from linked award data; foreign winners bidding through a local subsidiary count as domestic — the true share is higher.
