In early May 2010, the Stockholm County Council Assembly will decide on which company will be awarded the task of building the New Karolinska Solna University Hospital. As a PPP-project (Public Private Partnership), the task also incorporates facility management and financing.

The procurement process is performed according to Swedish laws for public procurement. Details about the procurement process are thus confidential until the decision on the winning bid has been made by the Stockholm County Council Assembly.

This meeting is to provide insight into the decision process to members of the press. A timeline for forthcoming decisions will also be announced.

Time: Friday, April 9 2010

Venue: Stockholm County Council
Hantverkargatan 45, Stockholm, Sweden

Speakers:

Anders Fridell, Media relations, Stockholm County Council Administration
Thomas Philipp, Head of Communications , New Karolinska Solna University Hospital Administration

Information about the decision process will also be published on the NKS website: www.nyakarolinskasolna.se/en
