The municipality of Sulkava in Finland has chosen Attendo as the new provider of all care and healthcare services to its citizens. In a separate decision, Rääkkylä municipality has chosen to extend its current combination contract with Attendo for another four years.  

Sulkava municipal board decided at its board meeting on April 25 to award Attendo the combination contract for providing the municipality’s social and health care services. The decision will be effective as soon as the appeal period has passed and the contract has been signed.

“We are delighted about Sulkava’s vote of confidence in Attendo and we are looking forward to bringing our services to all of Sulkava’s citizens”, says Antti Ylikorkala, Business Area Director for Attendo Kuntaturva services (combination contracts) in Finland

Sulkava becomes the seventh municipality to choose Attendo Kuntaturva. The contract is valued at about 11.6 MEUR (106 MSEK) annually, starting January 1st, 2017. The contract is valid for 6 years plus an optional extension for another 4 years.   

In a separate decision, the municipality board of Rääkkylä decided to use the option to extend its current combination contract for another four years until end of 2020.
