The english version of this text is attached in file 1 "REQUEST FOR INFORMATION, Procurement of Translation Software". THIS IS NOT A PRIOR NOTIFICATION, PROJECT NOTIFICATION OR APPLICATION FOR A MARKET YEAR PROGRAMME PART OF PROJECT PLANNING. The purpose of this request for information is to map the market and obtain more accurate information about market players (including start-ups and associations) producing language translation software or applications using generative AI. The aim of the translation programme is to assist professional translators in translating the language using artificial intelligence and to improve the efficiency of the translation process. The source material to be translated is mainly in Finnish, Swedish or English and the target language is mainly Finnish, Swedish or English. The source material may also be in other languages and the target language may be another language, such as Arabic, Russian, Estonian, Somali, Ukrainian, Farsi, Persian, Dari, Kurdish (Sorani), Mandarin or French. On the basis of competitive tendering, one (1) service provider will be selected. Requirements - The translation tool integrates generative AI with context-specific functionality and the ability to edit inputs - The translation tool has the ability to access, store and receive existing translation memories and term banks of different organisations, as well as to create its own translation memories and term banks, and these are available to all users of the translation tool, e.g. via the cloud - It is possible to enter translated materials from different languages in the most common file formats (Office365 file formats and PDF) - The translation tool preserves the formatting of the translated material - The translation tool can easily edit translations produced by artificial intelligence or from translation memories - Artificial Intelligence produces translations into different languages, including Finnish, Swedish, English, Arabic, Russian, Estonian, Somali, Ukrainian, Farsi, Persian, Dari, Kurd (Sorani), Mandarin or French. - The translation tool can be integrated into various management systems, such as the order management system - The translation tool produces versatile reports, such as the time spent on translation and the number of characters translated - The translation tool and AI features must be up-to-date as updates become available and AI technology and language models evolve - A GDPR and EU AI Act compliant solution 1. In addition to the technology description, describe what is under development? Examples, if used somewhere, where? How are external integrations implemented technically and do you have examples of implemented integrations in different systems? 2. Describe the pricing principles, e.g. based on capacity or number of users, or can a fixed/predictable monthly or annual price be given for the solution? Are updates included in the price or do they entail a separate cost? 3. How is data protection taken into account in the system? Service providers interested in the procurement are requested to express their interest in a possible procurement by answering preliminary questions and sending a presentation of their service in connection with the registration. The request for information must be answered by noon on 2 December 2024 by e-mail to noora.loytomaki@luvn.fi. The Western Uusimaa wellbeing services county reserves the right to select companies to be invited to market dialogue. The market dialogue does not involve a separate question-and-answer phase. Expressing interest in a request for information does not bind the service provider to participate in the tendering procedure, nor is it a condition for later participation in the actual tendering procedure. Service providers who have expressed an interest will be sent the tender documents for comments before the final tender is published. The wellbeing services county of Länsi-Uusimaa does not commit to carrying out the procurement, but the decision to initiate a potential procurement process is made after the information received in connection with the information request and after a separate market prospection, if any.
