Technical requirements: Veikkaus Oy (hereinafter also ‘procuring entity’ or ‘Veikkaus’) is requesting tenders for a framework arrangement to procure game development partners. The framework arrangement is divided into six (6) sections. The tenderers can only make a tender to one section each.
Section 4 Sound design and realization of games: up to 10 suppliers that meet the minimum requirements;
Section 6 Game technology and platform development: up to 10 suppliers that meet the minimum requirements.
The object of the procurement with its different sections is specified in more detail in the invitation to tender and its attachments. During the term of agreement, the procuring entity will be ordering services specific to sections according to its needs. The procuring entity is not committed to making specific purchases for fixed amounts. The agreement does not grant the service provider an exclusive right to provide the service to the procuring entity.
This section is dedicated to the procurement of the partial and total supply of game products. A typical object of procurement in this section would be, e.g., online scratchcards or more experimental digital games with new features or, e.g., combining different segments of gambling and entertainment games. The partners we are looking for should be innovative companies with experience in the development of entertainment games, but they do not necessarily need to have prior experience in the development of gambling games.
The procurement will cover the total supply of games (a combination of some of these: graphics, sound, code, game development) and its development in browser, mobile, slot machine, and server environments. The procurement may also concern the making of a demo, an entirely new game or a related component; making changes to existing games or their components or adapting them to new platforms – or the procurement of already existing games. The work may, depending on the case, be carried out as consultancy on Veikkaus’ premises – either independently or as part of a project team – or as development work done on the premises of a subcontractor or a partner of Veikkaus. The supply and development process of the project, as well as any more specific details, are subject to separate agreement for each project.
The terms of the procurement agreement is fixed-term and definite in duration for 24 months after which 2 option years are available (12 months +12 months).

The procurement will cover the production of sound, music and vocals to Veikkaus games – for all platforms, including any material used for their marketing. In this case, the sound production projects will always be linked to one of our productions; however, their subsequent use will not necessarily be limited to the game or the context for which they have been ordered, but the material produced may be used by Veikkaus for different purposes later, such as the sounds of another similar game. Any more specific details are subject to separate agreement for each project.
