Authority and procurement context
AKTSIASELTS KEILA VESI is listed as a body governed by public law in Estonia, with water-related activities as its main activity. For this procurement, it is the contracting authority for a school construction project focused on replacing the central block of the Keila School Pargimaja complex with a nearly zero-energy building.
The buyer profile is unusually sparse in the available procurement history. Hermix records no open tenders, no renewals and no contract awards for this buyer. The profile does, however, show one similar prior notice worth €7 million and one prior notice overall, also worth €7 million. That is close to the €7.015 million value of the current construction contract, but the related-notices section does not link a separate earlier notice directly to this opportunity.
- Similar open tenders: 0, €0
- All open tenders: 0, €0
- Similar renewals: 0, €0
- All renewals: 0, €0
- Similar contract awards: 0, €0
- All contract awards: 0, €0
- Similar prior notices: 1, €7M
- All prior notices: 1, €7M
- Other buyers with similar projects: 329, €3.5B
The wider comparison set is much larger than the buyer-specific record. Hermix tracks 329 other buyers with similar projects worth a combined €3.5 billion, which provides a broader market reference even though this buyer does not have recorded award history in the available profile.
Competitive landscape
No winners of similar contracts are listed for AKTSIASELTS KEILA VESI, and the buyer profile records zero similar contract awards and zero contract awards overall. There is therefore no buyer-specific winner ranking, incumbent pattern or contractor-country distribution available to analyse for this opportunity.
For bidders, the practical consequence is that the available record does not provide evidence of repeat suppliers or a concentrated group of historical winners for this buyer. Competitive assessment has to rely more heavily on the requirements of the current procurement and on wider comparable-project intelligence rather than on an established buyer award history.
The broader market context is substantial: 329 other buyers are associated with similar projects worth €3.5 billion. That comparison set indicates that the type of construction work is represented across a much wider public-sector market, even though the buyer-specific dataset here is limited.
Commercial and procedural signals
The procurement uses an open procedure and a single lot. Suppliers therefore face one integrated works package rather than separate packages for demolition, construction, external works or building integration. Any bidder needs to assess its ability to deliver the complete scope within the same contract.
The published award criterion is Price. No separate quality weighting is stated. This makes pricing discipline particularly important, while bidders still need to satisfy the technical, exclusion and qualification requirements referenced in the tender materials. The procurement does not provide separate financial guarantee information in the available opportunity data.
The 20-month contract period has to accommodate demolition of the existing central block, construction of the 3,269.3 sqm replacement building, external works and connection to the two retained building elements. The scope states that construction is planned as one stage, so the programme needs to account for these linked activities within a single delivery sequence.
The procurement was published on 22 September 2026 and closes on 16 October 2026, a submission window of 24 calendar days. The tender opening date is also 16 October 2026. Offers must be submitted in Estonian, which is a practical participation requirement for suppliers preparing the bid and supporting materials.
EU funding is listed as Yes. The scope also states that the works are co-financed by Riigi Tugiteenuste Keskus under project Kliima 2.9.01.25-0137 and refers to Regulation No. 49 of 8 December 2020 concerning support for the construction of nearly zero-energy buildings by local government units. Bidders should therefore account for the funding context when reviewing the tender requirements and delivery obligations.
Strategic context and interpretation
The strongest commercial feature of this opportunity is the combination of a single integrated construction package and a price-only published evaluation criterion. The project is not limited to erecting a new standalone building. It requires demolition of an existing central block, construction of a replacement structure, external works and physical connection to retained buildings, including a historic building at Pargi 2.
That integration requirement makes the scope operationally more complex than the headline building area alone suggests. The contractor is expected to deliver the project in one construction stage, so sequencing, interfaces between old and new structures, and the coordination of demolition and construction activities all sit inside the same works package. The 20-month duration provides the formal delivery window for that combined scope.
The funding structure is also relevant to qualification. The project is identified as EU-funded and co-financed through RTK under a named climate project and regulation. The procurement record does not disclose additional funding conditions, so bidders need to verify the applicable requirements directly in the tender materials rather than assume obligations that are not stated in the opportunity data.
Buyer-specific competitive history offers little guidance here. With no recorded contract awards, renewals or current open tenders for the authority, there is no visible incumbent pattern to anchor a competitive assessment. The most useful comparison therefore comes from the 329 other buyers associated with €3.5 billion of similar projects, combined with the technical and procedural requirements of this specific contract.

Conclusion
This €7.015 million procurement combines a clearly defined replacement-building programme with a single-lot, open procedure and a 20-month delivery period. The buyer-specific historical dataset is limited, which makes close qualification against the current scope, funding context, language requirement and price criterion especially important for bid decisions.
