Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the appeal against the Regional Board's decision to abandon a public tender for bus transport services. The Regional Board had awarded the license to a different operator after the original bidder withdrew, claiming they would operate solely on fares without subsidies. The court held that the Public Procurement Act does not apply to the granting of bus licenses, which are governed by separate transport legislation, thereby stripping the procurement committee of jurisdiction to review the Regional Board's actions.

Lääninhallitus oli, saatuaan joukkoliikenteen hoitamista lääninhallituksen maksamilla liikennöintikorvauksilla koskeneessa tarjouskilpailussa tarjouksen, jossa tarjouduttiin hoitamaan tarjouskilpailussa tarkoitettu liikenne pelkästään asiakastuloin ja siten ilman liikennöintikorvausta luopunut hankintamenettelystä ja siirtynyt linjaliikenneluvan myöntämismenettelyyn ja myöntänyt liikenneluvan muulle kuin mainitun tarjouksen tehneelle liikennöitsijälle. Kilpailuneuvoston toimivaltaan kuului julkisista hankinnoista annetun lain 9 §:n nojalla tutkia, oliko lääninhallitus menetellyt oikein luopuessaan hankinnan tekemisestä ostopalveluna.

Menettelystä linjaliikennelupahakemusta käsiteltäessä on säädetty henkilöliikennelaissa ja sen nojalla annetuissa säädöksissä. Menettelyyn ei sovelleta julkisista hankinnoista annettua lakia. Kilpailuneuvostolla ei ollut julkisista hankinnoista annettuun lakiin perustuvaa toimivaltaa tutkia lääninhallituksen menettelyä linjaliikenneluvan myöntämistä koskevassa asiassa.
