TXF Partnership Agreements

The object of the procurement is TXF Partnership Agreements during 1.10.2024 – 31.12.2027. The total value of the procurement is up to 100,000 euros (VAT 0 %) for the period. The procurement is conducted as a direct award within the meaning of the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts (1397/2016; Procurement Act). The Contracting authority has carried out market research and found out that there are no other service providers that are able to ensure the successful execution of the TXF Partnership Agreements.

In accordance with the Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts Section 40.2.2, a contracting entity may opt for direct procurement if only a certain supplier can implement the procurement for a technical reason, or for a reason related to protecting an exclusive right; it shall be a further condition that there are no reasonable alternatives or substitute solutions, and that the absence of competition is not due to an artificial narrowing of the terms and conditions of the procurement. Exile Group Ltd. is a company that organizes the TXF partnership events several times a year, where international banks, export credit agencies, and EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) companies meet in different locations in the world. Partnership events create connections to the world’s leading EPC companies and projects. EPC projects enable Finnish companies to participate in the procurement tender process for infrastructure projects. The TXF partnership events are very important and essential for Finnish companies and Business Finland. According to the market review conducted by Business Finland no other providers offering comparable service with similar scope, participant profile, and international reach were found. Thus, the lack of competition is not a result of artificially narrowing the procurement terms. Business Finland has selected Exile Group Ltd. as the supplier because there is no other similar organization/ company available. Exile Group Oy is the only supplier that offers and is able to implement the TXT partnership event service.
