Summary

The tender concerns the operation of route-based public transport on the Mynämäki–Nousiainen–Masku–Turku route from 7 June 2027 to 2 June 2030, with an option to extend the contract from 3 June 2030 to 5 June 2033.

The municipalities of Masku, Mynämäki and Nousiainen participate in financing the service. The submission deadline is 29 October 2026.
