Furniture is purchased for the needs of offices, schools, kindergartens and libraries, for example. The procurement is divided into three sub-components: 1. Office and public space furniture 2. Student and school furniture 3. Furniture for early childhood education Each procurement entity, regardless of the sub-component division of the framework contract, can be purchased from the same contract supplier. In such a situation, the Client assesses the main content and operating environment of the individual procurement package on the basis of which sub-assembly the procurement is made (for example, office furniture coming to the school in question…

… can also be purchased from the supplier of the sub-assembly of Student and School Furniture). The tendering procedure shall be carried out by means of an open procedure, on the basis of which the six (6) tenderers with the highest scores shall be selected for lots 1 and 2 and the five (5) tenderers with the highest scores for lots 3 of the framework agreement, unless there are fewer tenderers who have submitted admissible tenders. The selection criteria for competitive tendering are overall economic advantage with a price weight of 80% and quality weight of 20%. The contract period is a fixed-term period of four (4) years. The contract period begins at the earliest after the procurement decision has become final or after the Market Court has granted the contract an enforcement permit. The notice period for both parties and Numera Palvelut Oy's customer communities committed to the acquisition is six (6) months despite the fixed term. The aim is for the agreement period to enter into force in December 2026. Contracts below the national threshold may be awarded by any sub-assembly contractor. Contracts above the national threshold will be subject to lighter competitive tendering. All entities involved in the procurement are listed in Annex 1 of the draft contract. · Under Component 1, office and public space furniture will be purchased. The object of the procurement is furniture for offices, conference rooms, lobby rooms and other public spaces. In the product operating environment, emphasis is placed on product safety, ergonomics, durability and responsibility, and the adaptation of product and service concepts to changing situations is appreciated. · Under Component 2, the target of the procurement is furniture for schools and educational institutions. Furniture is purchased for new and renovation projects, as well as for schools and educational institutions of customer organisations committed to the acquisition. The sub-assembly will acquire furniture for learning environments and common areas. Furniture in public areas includes, for example, furniture in lobby areas and dining and banquet halls. In product operating environments, the emphasis is on product safety, durability, adaptability and the versatility of functional possibilities. · Under Component 3, the target of the procurement is the furnishings of early childhood education centres and day care centres. Furniture is purchased for new and renovation projects, as well as for the early childhood education facilities of customer organisations committed to the acquisition. The sub-assembly will acquire furniture for operating and learning spaces as well as common areas. Furniture in public areas includes, for example, furniture in the halls and lobbies, as well as in the dining and banquet halls. In the operating environment of the products, the emphasis is on the safe use of the products, durability, easy cleaning and sound ergonomics of the furniture. The dimensions of the products must be suitable for both adult ergonomics and children's functionality.
