MAZOWIECKIE REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The proposed framework loan will part-finance the priority schemes implemented in the 2014-2020 programming period in the Mazowieckie region in Poland. The programme will primarily include schemes in the following sectors: road safety, culture heritage and health. The loan will be signed under the Programme Loan 2017-0081 POLAND REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMME.

The operation will support road safety improvements, sustainable mobility, culture, health and public buildings, included in the investment programme of the Mazowieckie region. The programme will contribute to the implementation of the regional development strategy "Innovative Mazovia 2030" and will thus help to achieve the objectives of improving public space and transport system in the region, preserving the cultural heritage and creating a coherent healthcare system for the society. Some of the schemes are likely to be co-financed by the ESIF funds.

The Bank will generally allocate its funds only to eligible schemes which are economically, technically and financially justified and environmentally sound. All schemes must comply with EU environmental, procurement and state aid legislation as well as with the principles of the Bank's Environmental and Social Standards. With the appropriate conditions in place the project is acceptable for financing in environmental and social terms.

The promoter is subject to the public procurement regime. The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation: Directive 2014/24/EU, as well as Directive 89/665/EEC as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the European Union, as and where required.
