The object of the procurement is an foresight platform for the use of the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom (later also referred as "Procurement Authority" or "Customer"). In this procurement, the foresight platform (later “product”) refers to software that can be used to implement strategic continuous foresight, scenario work and other foresight methods.

See detailed description of the object of the procurement from annex 1.

The object of the procurement concerns a foresight platform which is to be provided as a SaaS -solution. Hence the nature of the contract has been selected as "supplies" and corresponding CPV has been chosen. However, additional CPV code referring to services has also been selected since the contracting authority considers it to be suitable considering the intended use of the product. Futhermore, the use of the both CPV codes is to further ensure that relevant suppliers can find the contract notice.
