Counselled by fwp partner Michael Hecht and fwp attorney at law Rudolf Pekar and acting on behalf of the Vienna Hospital Association (Wiener Krankenanstaltenverbund, KAV), the law firm Fellner Wratzfeld & Partner Rechtsanwälte GmbH organised a public private partnership (PPP) model to procure the design, construction and facility management of radiation therapy centres. The centres are to be established at various locations. The investment volume amounts to approximately EUR 85 million and the estimated useful life is 25 years.

“Our expertise in handling large-volume procurement projects, in particular in the sensitive area of healthcare, ensured optimum assistance for KAV”, says fwp partner Michael Hecht. “And our experience regarding the structuring of complex PPP models was also a major factor for successful cooperation with KAV”, adds Rudolf Pekar, attorney at law.

Apart from drafting the complex PPP contract, the mandate included structuring and implementing the multi-level procurement procedure. Together with the school construction PPPs entered into by the City of Vienna ‑ where fwp also advised Bildungscampus Attemsgasse during the model development and procurement phases ‑ this PPP project is one of the first construction projects in Austria without an impact on the Maastricht deficit.
