We buy most of the services we provide to clients from the market. We employ actors particularly in the construction and real estate sectors.<\/p>\n<p>One of the key tools are framework agreements, which simplify and improve the effectiveness of our procurements in practice and ensure service availability and quality. We seek to ensure the best possible appetite for bidding and opportunities for SMEs to participate through appropriate sub bidding areas in competitive tendering. We have framework agreement partners in all our core operations. We basically follow general terms and conditions (incl. General Terms of Public Procurement in Service Contracts (JYSE), General Conditions for Building Contracts (YSE)).<\/p>\n<h3>Our procurement principles<\/h3>\n<p>The principles to be followed in all our procurements are efficiency, planning, responsibility, as well as safety, preparedness and readiness.<\/p>\n<h3>We know our partners<\/h3>\n<p>Our partners must always be identified. In new procurements, we require and check among other things prevention of financial crime policies, sanctions and compliance with obligations under the Act on the Contractor\u2019s Obligations and Liability when Work is Contracted Out (1233\/2006). Compliance with contractual terms is monitored throughout the contract period.<\/p>\n<h3>Our procurement is responsible<\/h3>\n<p>In addition to statutory and financial obligations, procurements take into account the principles of sustainable environmental and energy solutions, and social responsibility. Procurement category work sets general framework conditions for responsibility for service and product groups. Where necessary, market dialogue is utilised to help in setting appropriate responsibility requirements.<\/p>\n<p>We are committed to three voluntary <a href=\"https:\/\/ym.fi\/en\/green-deals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Deals<\/a>: emission-free worksites, sustainable demolition and plastics in construction. These and other responsibility aspects have been updated in our newest framework agreement templates and our contracts have taken into account terms and conditions in line with our carbon neutrality ambitions among other things.<\/p>\n<h3>We are effective, systematic and able to function<\/h3>\n<p>We maintain our ability to function in all circumstances. We measure security and preparedness criteria for each procurement. Our goal is that our supplier network manages security issues and commits to Senate Group\u2019s security criteria. This is ensured among other things by adequate induction in security matters at the start of the contract period.<br \/>\nWe implement procurements on the basis of the best overall value for money.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][senaatti_feature_lift heading=&#8221;Service providers and partners&#8221; text=&#8221;This page contains information for our service providers and other partners, for example, on security clearances, personal approval, construction management and maintenance systems and instructions, and our learning environment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; image=&#8221;55076&#8243; btn=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Ftesti-e2c55b704894.senaatti.fi%2Fen%2Fservice-providers-and-partners%2F|title:Page%20for%20partners&#8221;][\/senaatti_feature_lift][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][senaatti_feature_lift align=&#8221;right&#8221; heading=&#8221;Follow ongoing procurements in the Hilma public procurement service&#8221; subheading=&#8221;We announce all our procurements in Hilma.&#8221; text=&#8221;The Hilma public procurement service allows you make search alerts, among other things.
