The urban environment industry of the City of Helsinki (later “subscriber”) establishes a dynamic procurement system (DPS), within which planning, research and expert services on traffic will be competitive.
The targets of the dynamic procurement system are divided into the following subdivisions:
1. Traffic Modeling
2. Transport system design
3. General and project planning of transport
4. Road safety projects
5. Traffic calculations and speed measurements
6. Survey studies
The dynamic procurement system items are described in more detail in the request for participation and its attachments.
The candidate may apply for participation in one or more of the sections.
The operating model of the dynamic procurement system is two-phase. In the first phase, a dynamic procurement system will be established in accordance with the provisions of the limited procedure. In the second phase, the subscriber conducts intra-dynamic procurement system competition among the associated bidders.
The dynamic procurement system shall be valid for 24 months unless the subscriber shorten or prolong the duration of the dynamic procurement system or suspends the procurement system in the middle of its validity. The subscriber has the right to suspend the dynamic procurement system in the middle of its validity.
The subscriber may temporarily shut down the dynamic procurement system at any time during the duration of the dynamic procurement system. With the dynamic procurement system closed, individual procurement cannot be made within the system.
Applications for participation in the dynamic procurement system may be submitted throughout its duration. The Helsinki urban environment industry accepts all candidates who submitted an application for participation in the dynamic procurement system that meet the suitability requirements set out for the candidate.
Component 1: Traffic ModelingThe object of acquisition involves studying the fluidity of the transport system, traffic and traffic by modelling. Different modes of transportation (car transport, public transport, bike traffic, pedestrian and other forms of movement) are treated both separately and as a whole.
The object of the acquisition includes the following tasks:
- Drawing up traffic forecasts
- Drafting of scope reviews
The object of acquisition may include assessment of the impact of the transport and transport system, planning at the transport system level, public transport line planning, project assessment, functionality reviews, planning and optimization of the programming of traffic lights entering the models, and accessibility assessment.
Invitations to tender for Dynamic Purchase System internal tendering may include, or just one of, traffic forecasts and performance reviews.
The scope of the engagement can be a whole-city or a narrower delimitation. The assignment may include modeling, evaluating and analyzing different years and alternatives. It may also include the development and calibration of the models used.
Engagements may involve stakeholder interaction, workshops or other interaction methods and reporting results.
The provider must have a traffic modelling and/or functionality review programme compatible with the City of Helsinki programmes. The subscriber's currently in use traffic modeling and/or functionality review programs and their file formats are set out in Annex 1 File formats and other programs and file formats available to the subscriber in Annex 2 Help on Digital Data.
The data and results should be handed over to the subscriber in electronic form. The data set should contain a description of what it contains. The subscriber specifies the appearance and file format of the results by assignment.
Strand 2: Transport System DesignThe object of acquisition includes surveys relating to all forms of transport (e.g. walking, bike traffic, public transport, freight transport, car transport and other forms of movement). Different modes of passage can be treated separately and/or as a whole.
The acquisition also includes accessibility assessment, traffic modelling, functionality reviews, and planning and optimization of the programming of traffic lights entering the models.
The object of acquisition may include, for example, the following tasks:
- transport system level design
- public transport line design

An engagement review may be an overall review for an urban area or a restricted area. Engagements may involve stakeholder interaction, workshops or other interaction methods and reporting results.
The data and results should be handed over to the subscriber in electronic form. The data set should contain a description of what it contains. The subscriber specifies the appearance and file format of the results by assignment. The results must be produced so that they can be processed with software in use by the City of Helsinki. The programs currently in use by the subscriber and their file formats are set out in Annex 2 to the Request for Participation Help on Digital Data.
Subdivision 3: General transport and project planningThe object of the acquisition comprises design objects whose scope, relevance or clarification of technical solutions and feasibility requires the preparation of a general or project plan.
The purpose of the acquisition shall establish a master plan of the transport project, project plan or subplans thereof, defining the design principles, street and transport arrangements of the project, as well as assessing the impact, cost, feasibility, timetable, phasing and method of execution.
The assignment of the object of the acquisition includes the design of transport solutions for different ways of passage, which may include footfall, bike traffic, public transport, freight, car transport, as well as other modes of transportation.
The assignments of the object of the acquisition may require expertise in, for example, the following areas of expertise:
- Traffic planning
- Street and municipal engineering
- Water supply
- Geoengineering
- Hluleves
- Folding structures
- Street environment
- Park and green space design
- Environment
- Tramway, metro and railway
- Rail electrical and technical systems
- Cost assessment of the plan
- Evaluation of the impact of the plan, project assessment and traffic modelling
- Operational reviews of the plan traffic solutions
- Organizing and reporting of plan interaction
- Definition of project demarcation
- Definition of the schedule and phasing of the project
- Definition of the method of implementation and procurement of the project
- Drawing up the decision-making material and presentation material of the plan or project
The data and results should be handed over to the subscriber in electronic form. The data set should contain a description of what it contains.

Traffic calculus can be carried out using different methods, for example as hand counting or devices based on different technologies (e.g. radar, induction loop, hose calculator, infrared, machine vision). Speed measurements can be carried out using radar or based on machine vision, for example. Traffic calculus can also be implemented from video footage filmed by the subscriber, using various techniques (character recognition and other AI solutions).
The scope and level of requirements of mandates vary by mandate.
The mandate may include drawing up a work or research plan, expanding data collection and results, analyzing and reporting, and drawing up an accessible publication, or merely some of the above.
