Remarks:

Screening waste (välppäjäte) refers to material intercepted by screens at wastewater treatment plants, primarily consisting of sanitary products, textiles, plastics, grit, and organic residues. It has high moisture content, is prone to decay and odor, and must be transported in sealed containers and disposed of in compliance with regulations.

It is recommended that potential bidders possess the following qualifications and capabilities:

Waste transport license recognized by the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE).

Environmental permit for the waste reception facility (including the category of screening waste/ screenings).

Track record in screening waste treatment (especially in energy recovery).

Fleet of sealed container transport vehicles.

Although this project is not currently reserved for SMEs, small and medium-sized enterprises may still participate independently or as part of a consortium.

As the minimum treatment process threshold is "energy recovery," bidders without incineration or anaerobic digestion capabilities are advised to seek cooperation agreements with operators of final treatment facilities at an early stage.

Bidders must carefully study the procurement documents and the ESPD template before submission to ensure the qualification declaration is complete and accurate.

It is recommended to complete registration on the Hilma platform and confirm equipment/facility arrangements by early March 2026.
