The Finnish Rail Administration (RHK) orders planning, construction and maintenance services from engineering firms, consultants and contractors.

About 70% of track maintenance work is put out to tender. In new projects and expansion investments the figure is nearly 100%. RHK invites tenders for safety equipment, electrification work and track materials. The market in track construction and maintenance is undeveloped at the moment, however.

In investment projects RHK makes use of project management consultants, who assist RHK in contracting, financing and cost management.

The most important development projects at the moment are the renewal of the Ilmala yard in Helsinki and upgrading the Seinäjoki-Oulu and Lahti-Vainikkala line sections.
