About this tender
Helsinki city's Urban Environment Division (Helsingin kaupunki, kaupunkiympäristön toimiala) is preparing a framework agreement for landscape architectural and expert services in general planning, public-area land-use landscape design, and related environmental planning. This is a prior information notice (planning notice, OJ S 202/2026). It does not launch a competition, and the buyer is not obliged to proceed with the procurement as described. The framework aims to select service providers to support the city's strategic-level environmental planning and general planning. Assignments cover urban environment development at a general or strategic level, including preparing studies, principles, guidelines, and plans on environmental planning. Planning areas range from a single park to district-wide or citywide reviews. Topics may include urban green space development, recreation areas, landscape architecture, urban environment quality, climate change adaptation, and other environmental planning themes. The procurement is planned as an open tender in two parts (lots). Part 1 covers miscellaneous strategic-level environmental plans and planning studies and guidelines. Part 2 covers general and concept/idea planning and reference plans linked to zoning, such as public outdoor area general plans (JUYS), park general plans, courtyard reference plans, and area traffic and environmental assessments (ALKT). Planned timetable: a market dialogue in early 2027 (Q2 2027) to present award criteria, service description and possibly a draft contract; tender publication around Q3 2027; tender deadline around Q4 2027; evaluation Q4 2027 to Q2 2027 (as listed, 4-6/2027); award decision Q6-8/2027.
