City of Katowice
The project covers construction of a new orchestra hall for the Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, as well as a new International Congress Centre, and development of the communication system in the adjacent area, by the city of Katowice.
The overarching objective of the investments is to ameliorate the cultural attractiveness of the city of Katowice. The project would notably allow a) the renowned Radio Orchestra to maintain its operational basis in Katowice, and to preserve its cultural heritage; and b) to provide key infrastructure for International Congresses in the region.
Compliance with EU Directive 97/11, amending Directive 85/337/EEC, will be verified during appraisal and the status of any environmental studies and public consultations will be reviewed.
As the wholly owned subsidiary of a public administration entity, the promoter is required to follow the EU public procurement rules (2004/17/EC and 2007/18/EC) including publication of contract notices in the EU Official Journal as implemented by national law, if and where appropriate. Compliance with these Directives will be confirmed at appraisal.
