Do I always need to submit a procurement request for new software? What if the software is free?
In principle, for all new software, whether it is free or not, a procurement request must always be submitted. For detailed information on practices and exceptions, refer to the OMA announcement Kaikki ohjelmisto- ja järjestelmähankinnat Tietohallintopalveluiden kautta (in Finnish only). Pay attention to the clarifying comments after the announcement.
Summary of the announcement:
- If you want to implement a new computer program, mobile application, or IT system at Metropolia, fill out the procurement form at https://hankintalomake.metropolia.fi -> Ohjelmistot ja järjestelmät (Software and Systems).
- If the computer program, mobile application, or IT system processes personal data, also review the DPIA (Data Protection Impact Assessment) guidelines in OMA (in Finnish only) and fill out the tool-DPIA form (in Finnish only).
- Based on a decision by Metropolia's executive team, no type of computer program, mobile application, or IT system, even if free, is allowed to be used except as mentioned above.
