Environmental aspects
Hospitals are not specifically mentioned in the 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 relevant authority. The aim of the Project is to improve the care of patients of all ages receiving hospital services and its social value is therefore considered to be positive.
Procurement
The Project is being procured using the competitive dialogue process for Public Private Partnerships (PPPs), which was launched with publication in the Official Journal of the European Union in December 2012. Three bidders passed the pre-qualification stage and were invited to participate in dialogue in March 2013. Final tenders are due in January 2014 and the Board will announce the Preferred Bidder in March 2014. The Bank requires the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the Project will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation.
