Request for information: independent practitioner model for continuity of primary healthcare

Summary

This is a request for information from the Pirkanmaa wellbeing services county, not an invitation to submit a bid. The contracting authority is preparing a pilot of a primary healthcare continuity model, aiming to start consultations in Tampere in February or March 2027 with four experienced general practitioners working as independent practitioners. The doctors would care for their own patients together with a named nurse and provide ordinary primary healthcare consultation services, with a focus on improving access to care and continuity. Respondents are asked to review the request documents and complete the questionnaire by 12:00 on 9 October 2026. Responding is voluntary and does not bind either party; responding or not responding does not affect the opportunity to take part in a future procurement. The final procurement and its requirements may change during preparation.
