Summary sheet
Construction of a new building for internal medicine to consolidate several outdated existing buildings as part of Saarland's university hospital.
The project foresees the construction of a new wing for the department of internal medicine to consolidate services which are currently provided in 16 individual premises. The new building will be closely linked to the existing buildings of the surgical departments. Once completed, the majority of the acute medical services will have been consolidated within one integrated facility.
Hospitals are not specifically mentioned in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU, though the project may be covered by Annex II of the Directive in relation to urban development. The Bank’s services will verify during appraisal whether an EIA is required and the screening decision of the competent authority. It is expected that the project will have positive social benefits as healthcare is an element of social cohesion.
The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Dir 2004/18/EEC and Dir. 2007/66/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
