Tenders Are Invited For Market Dialogue: Kuopio Stadium Project

The City Of Kuopio Will Conduct A Market Dialogue Regarding The Implementation Of The Kuopio Stadium Project. The Stadium Project Includes The Stadium Itself In Accordance With The Uefa4 Criteria (E.G. 8,000 Spectator Seats) And The Business Premises (4,000 K-M2) To Be Implemented In Connection With The Stadium With Parking Solutions Serving The Mentioned Uses. In Addition, It Is Possible To Implement Residential, Business Or Service Space (10,000 Sq M) In The Alp Block Area On The South Side Of The Area With Parking Solutions. The Goal Of The Market Dialogue Is To Get Market Participants Feedback On The Implementation Method And Main Conditions Of The Project Tender Being Prepared, As Well As The Project Planning And Site Plan Change Process. The Citys Preliminary Idea Is To Select An Operator For The Collaborative Project Development Phase, During Which The Feasibility Of The Stadium Expansion And The Business Premises To Be Implemented In Connection With It Will Be Ensured. When The Start Of The Stadium Project Is Confirmed, The Selected Operator Will Build The Stadium (Without Commercial Premises) As A Contract Commissioned By The City. The Contract Will Include The Grandstand, The Renewal Of The Lighting, And The Warm Indoor Spaces Necessary For Exercise, To The Extent That They Are Not Placed In Connection With The Business Premises. In Addition, The Operator Is Obliged To Implement A Business Premises Complex In Connection With The Stadium, For Which The City Will Be The Anchor Tenant In Terms Of The Facilities That Will Be Used For Its Own Use And The Warm Indoor Spaces Serving Sports Use. The Stadium Also Serves As A Starting Point For Mölymäkis Wider Development. The Citys Goal Is Also The Realization Of Residential, Commercial And Service Facilities In The Alp Block Area, Either As Part Of The Stadium Project Or As A Separate Project Entity. In This Way, A Versatile And Lively Area Is Created, Where Housing, Services, Events And Sports Activities Form A Complementary Whole. As A Whole, The Mölymäki Project Is Built In Stages. This Announcement Is A Market Survey. This Market Survey Is Not A Call For Tenders, And Publishing This Does Not Start A Tender. The Purpose Of This Market Dialogue Is To Get The Views Of Market Players Who Produce Services In A Wide Area For The Planning And Tendering Of The Project. The City Is Currently Preparing Presentation Material For The Project, Which Will Be Presented To Interested Parties At A Joint Information Session On March 31, 2026 At 14-15:30 Via Teams Remote Connection. The Presentation Material Will Be Delivered To The Participants After The Information Session, And Bilateral Market Dialogue Discussions Will Also Be Organized With Interested Operators After The Information Session In Order To Go Over More Precise Details. Meetings Are Not Necessarily Organized With All The Market Participants Who Participated In The Information Session. Responding To This Market Dialogue Does Not In Any Way Affect The Position Of The Market Participant In A Possible Future Tender, And Not Responding Prevents The Market Participant From Participating In A Possible Tender. This Market Dialogue Does Not Obligate The Procurement Unit To Carry Out The Actual Tender.
