Pihlajalinna chosen as Tervola municipality's social and healthcare services
partner

Tervola Municipal Council chose Pihlajalinna as partner for the municipality's
social and healthcare services in its meeting held on Thursday night, 10
November, 2016. The Council made the decision in the matter for the second time.
The Municipal Council selected Pihlajalinna as the municipality's partner in
social and health care services on 8 September, but the procurement decision was
returned to the Council for a second examination. The Municipal Board deemed
that decision-makers who were disqualified had participated in making the
Council's decision.

According to tendering, the contract's duration is at least 10 years and at most
15 years. Provisionally, the service production begins on 1 July 2017. Tervola
municipality's population is about 3,200 and the contract's value is about EUR
13 million per year.

The temporary act restricting municipalities' complete social and healthcare
outsourcings will be taken into account in actual contract negotiations. Final
terms of agreement will be specified during negotiations.
