Kuopio Central Stadium

Summary

The tender concerns the development and construction of Kuopio Central Stadium through a competitive dialogue procedure. The project includes a UEFA Category 4 stadium with 8,000 covered seats, approximately 3,600 square metres of commercial premises and related parking solutions. The stadium and spectator facilities will be owned by the City of Kuopio and delivered under a design-and-build contract, while the commercial premises will be privately owned and developed by a private party. The selected operator will first participate in a cooperative development phase to confirm the project’s feasibility and must subsequently deliver at least the minimum required commercial premises, including approximately 750 square metres of sports service facilities to be leased by the city. The scope may be expanded to approximately 4,000 square metres. The works include spectator stands, renewed lighting and heated indoor facilities for sports use where these are not located within the commercial premises. Participation applications are due by 20 October 2026. The machine-readable notice does not provide precise qualification, suitability, compliance or technical requirements.
