This Is Not A Procurement Announcement Nor A Request For Offer, But An Invitation To A Market Dialogue/Information Request. North Karelias Procurement Department Organizes A Joint Information And Discussion Event Open To Everyone About The Acquisition Of Lipers Ylämylly Daycare Center With A Rental Model Solution, Where The Customer Commits To Renting The Building Under A Long-Term Lease Agreement. A New 10-Group Daycare Center Will Be Built In The Area, Which Will Primarily Combine The Paloaukea And Puoliväli Daycare Centers. The Daycare Center Would Accommodate Early Childhood Care For The Whole Municipality Area, And The Facilities Would Also Enable The Organization Of Early Childhood Education During Vacations More Efficiently Than At Present. It Is Possible To Build A New Daycare Center Either On A Plot Of Land To Be Bought Or Rented From The Municipality (Block 38) Or On The Bidders Own Plot Within A Predefined Area In The Core Area Of Ylämylly. The Purchase Price Of The Municipal Plot Is €12.50/M² And The Rent Is 1/15 Of The Purchase Price. Ylämylly Is An Agglomeration Particularly Popular With Families With Children, And The Number Of Children In The Area Has Been Stable. New Residential Areas Have Been Zoned In The Ylämylli Area, Which Are Hoped To Increase The Number Of Families With Children. High-Quality Early Childhood Education Services Are An Important Attractive Factor For Families With Children. The New Modern Daycare Facilities Improve The Working Conditions Of The Staff, Which Can Contribute To The Retention Of Employees And The Recruitment Of New Employees. The Daycare Investment Supports The Development Of The Area And Strengthens The Municipalitys Reputation As A Responsible And Child-Friendly Operator. Even Though There Is A Need For A Large Daycare Center, Group-Specific Facilities, Entrances And Dividing The Yard Into Several Parts That Create Peace And Safety Must Be Taken Into Account In The Planning.
