Brno - Brno is looking for an operator for the multifunctional hall it plans to build at the exhibition center for the first 15 years. The selection of candidates will be based on their experience with similar operations, the mayor Markéta Vaňková (ODS) stated today in a press release. The hall, costing approximately 2.5 billion, will have a capacity of 13,000 spectators. It will serve for sports events such as hockey matches of Kometa, as well as for social and cultural events.
Brno's city council approved the tender documentation today. It will still need to be translated into English due to the participation of foreign applicants. After the commencement of the concession procedure, applicants will have a month to apply. "In addition to the fact that design work and the preparation of all documentation for the multifunctional hall are fully underway, and that the topic of financing its construction is still open, it is also necessary to resolve the issue of its future operation. We have planned the hall from the beginning not only as a sports center but also as a venue capable of hosting culturally significant events or international conferences. We will select from the applicants based on their experience with similar operations," Vaňková mentioned.
The conditions in the tender documentation state that to meet the qualifications, it is necessary to demonstrate at least two years of experience operating a multifunctional hall with a capacity of at least 6,000 seats, where both sports and cultural or educational events took place. Another requirement is to host 20 events annually, with the number applying separately for sports and for cultural and educational events.
The operator of the hall will emerge from the concession procedure for a period of 15 years. The concessionaire will pay the city a fixed payment for allowing the operation of the hall and for ensuring events are held there, as well as a variable payment that is a percentage derived from the revenue and earnings associated with the operation of the hall.
