Invitation to market dialogue for construction and building services contractors

Summary

The City of Vaasa invites construction and building services contractors to take part in a market dialogue ahead of a procurement procedure for a new comprehensive school in central Vaasa. This is a prior information notice and an invitation to market dialogue, not a contract notice or an invitation to tender; its publication does not launch a bidding procedure. Bilateral discussions will cover possible construction solutions and development proposals for delivering a complete school complex that meets the contracting authority’s requirements. The discussions will be conducted in Finnish. The school complex is planned to occupy mainly three buildings across two adjacent city blocks. The existing school building at Kauppapuistikko 22 will be renovated for teaching and administration, and a new building with teaching, dining and sports facilities is planned at Raastuvankatu 33. Construction is targeted to start in spring 2027 and is expected to take approximately 24 months. An open procurement procedure is planned for a later stage: the invitation to tender is intended to be published in December, a six-week period is envisaged for preparing bids, and contractor selection is targeted for February.
