Architecture tenders and design competitions in Finland

Finnish public buyers award architects' services under the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts (1397/2016). Finland has a strong tradition of architecture competitions for public buildings and urban plans, many of them organised with the Finnish Association of Architects (SAFA). TenderDesk reads Hilma and TED, so the national calls that never reach TED are in the feed too.

Questions

Where are architecture tenders published in Finland?
On Hilma (hankintailmoitukset.fi), the national electronic notice service where public buyers publish their procurement notices, and in TED for contracts above the EU thresholds. TenderDesk reads both and scores every notice so the real design commissions come first.
What role does SAFA play in Finnish competitions?
SAFA, the Finnish Association of Architects, advises organisers on the type of competition and the competition programme, and appoints impartial professional members to the jury. Competitions it takes part in follow SAFA's competition rules.
Can an architecture firm from another country bid in Finland?
Yes. Public tenders in the EU are open to firms from other member states on equal terms, and many teams pair a foreign lead with a local partner. Check the tender's requirements for professional registration (a certificate of competence for the design role under the Building Act, issued for architects by SAFA or FISE) and for the language of the submission.
