The Children’s Hospital of the Future Fund Conference Meeting Continues

The Children’s Hospital of the Future Fund Conference meeting continues at the Small Hall of the Ukrainian House in Kyiv.

The conference has to consider the financial component of the proposals recommended by the Contest Committee by the criteria of price, payment conditions, terns of execution, and business reputation of the company.

The meeting was preceded by a number of events.

In accordance with the conditions of the contest, the data on the authors of the design and financial component of the proposals were attached to the projects in a separate envelope, the so-called Envelope Two. On the day of the opening of contest proposals (July 20, 2007), these envelopes were placed into a strongbox and handed over to the notary.

After the Contest Committee decision had been announced, the strongbox with Envelopes Two was brought into the Central Hall, accompanied by the security. After the necessary notarial actions were performed, the strongbox was unsealed, and the notary handed over to Head of the Board of Directors of the Children’s Hospital of the Future Fund Vira Pavliuk two financial proposals of the designs FGH4C and P21970, selected as the best by the Contest Committee.

Meanwhile, the Conference delegates gathered at the Small Hall. Ms. Pavliuk, accompanied by security, went there with the envelopes. Members of the Supervisory Board also joined them.

At the start of the meeting, Ms. Pavliuk opened the Envelopes Two. It was planned that the companies hidden under the codes will be named at the Small Hall and broadcasted to the Central Hall. However, the Conference delegates decided that the names should be announced at the Central Hall, in the presence of the journalists and observers. Thus, Ms. Vira returned to the Central Hall and announced the names of the companies there.

Proposals by the Mario Cucinella Architects (Italy) and Building Design Partnership (Great Britain) were selected as best.

Ms. Pavliuk returned to the Small Hall, where the Conference meeting started. It began with electing the Head, Secretary, and Counting Board. At present, the Conference meeting continues, broadcasted on the big screen at the Central Hall of the Ukrainian House.
