How does a company benefit from RALA Competence?

Construction project developers often requi­re a com­pa­ny to pro­ve its ca­pa­bi­li­ty for execu­ting a pro­ject. The RA­LA Com­pe­tence verification coupled with necessary attachments is an accep­table replace­ment for reports requi­red in procu­re­ment no­tices. This includes both the re­ports on compliance with sta­tu­to­ry requi­re­ments and sec­tor-speci­fic com­pe­tence. Developers may al­so speci­fical­ly requi­re their suppliers to ha­ve a RA­LA Com­pe­tence verification.

How is the RALA Competence related to the Act of the Contractor’s Obligations and Liability when Work is Contracted Out?

To be gran­ted a RA­LA Com­pe­tence verification, the com­pa­ny must fulfill the re­gi­stra­tion and no­ti­fica­tion requi­re­ments speci­fied in the Act of the Cont­rac­tor’s Obli­ga­tions and Lia­bi­li­ty when Work is Cont­rac­ted Out.

With the RALA Competence verification a com­pa­ny doesn't need to ret­rie­ve sta­tu­to­ry in­for­ma­tion from va­rious re­gis­ters since the ti­laa­ja­vas­tuu.fi ser­vice ma­na­ges that. We request the com­pa­ny to sign a document, with the power of an attorney, aut­ho­ri­sing RA­LA and the ti­laa­ja­vas­tuu.fi ser­vice to access the in­for­ma­tion speci­fied in the Act of the Cont­rac­tor’s Obli­ga­tions and Lia­bi­li­ty when Work is Cont­rac­ted Out. 

In addition, the Re­liable Part­ner service is included in the an­nual fee of the RA­LA Com­pe­tence.

Who may apply for RALA Competence verification?

Com­pa­nies in the con­struc­tion sec­tor and public ad­mi­ni­stra­tion or­ga­ni­sa­tions that ha­ve execu­ted re­fe­rence pro­jects in Fin­land, and can pre­sent adequa­te fi­nancial sta­te­ments, are eligible to apply for a RALA Competence verification.

The RA­LA Com­pe­tence is gran­ted to an in­di­vi­dual busi­ness ID and in a speci­fic ca­te­go­ry accor­ding to the RA­LA list of cer­ti­fica­tion ca­te­go­ries. A cor­po­ra­te group may apply for a RA­LA Com­pe­tence verification se­pa­ra­te­ly for each sub­si­dia­ry or di­vi­sion.
