Public Pilot Procurement Data

This data contains public information from procurements that were organized in 2003, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 by the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela) to acquire providers for an intensive medical physiotherapy service. The data comes from two insurance districts, South Ostrobothnia (Etelä-Pohjanmaa) and Päijät-Häme, which piloted a fixed price procurement in 2010. In 2003, 2006, 2014 and 2018, the districts organized competitive bidding scoring auction. The data is based on two types of procurement documents: quality–price rank lists of the competitive biddings in 2003, 2006, 2014 and 2018 and on quality evaluations of providers in the two districts in 2010. The data contains information on providers' prices, quality and capacity and can be used to analyze providers' pricing and differences between the procurements in the areas.
