UNIVERSITAETSKLINIKUM SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN

Rehabilitation and extension of the two sites of the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein under the investment programme 2013-2018.

The project will benefit to the overall health strategy of the region by introducing better models of service delivery, improving healthcare from purpose-built premises and creating greater synergies with teaching and research. Moreover the project aims a reduction of at least 20% of the energy consumption.

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). The project is tendered using the competitive dialogue and the relevant contract has been published in the EU Official Journal on 13/05/2012 (2012/S 85-139875).
