The Finnish Transport Agency‘s information system procurement is the first ICT-alliance contract concluded in Finnish public administration

Published 6.10.2017

The Finnish Transport Agency is updating its road register to a modern road network data system, which will provide easy access to information about the condition of the state-owned road network. The alliance contract was awarded to the consortium Tietäjä, composed of Solita Oy, Sito Oy and Ramboll Finland Oy.

Building of the new road network data system started in October, and it is estimated to be completed in three years. The new system will replace the old road register, among other things. The project also involves creating a data warehouse for plans and implementation models serving all modes of transport.

“From now on, we will have better access to data produced during the planning and construction phases as well as to data collected on the roads”, says Project Manager Mika Stenmark at the Finnish Transport Agency.

The development budget of the project is five million euro. The first objectives will be implemented next year. The contract also includes an option of a five-year maintenance contract.

Procurement process

Nine consortia submitted applications to participate in the tender, of which three were selected for the actual tendering process. The Finnish Transport Agency arranged development workshops with all three bidders before sending the final invitation to tender. The tendering process ended in August, as the consortium Tietäjä was awarded the contract. The Finnish Transport Agency will sign the contract with the consortium at the beginning of October.

“Contractors showed great interest in our project alliance. If this project turns out to be a positive experience, we will certainly continue to develop and implement the project alliance model in our ICT procurements”, says Project Manager Elsi Sarjo at the Finnish Transport Agency.

This project is part of subproject three (Proactive road management and development of a road network data management system) in the Finnish Transport Agency’s Digitalisation Project.
