Legal support for an investor in the project on reconstruction of a perinatal center in St. Petersburg based on a PPP agreement (through private initiative)

The project provides for reconstruction and further technical maintenance of a perinatal center in St. Petersburg on the basis of a public-private partnership agreement. The state-of-the-art center will include reproductive health, IVF, genetic laboratory and screening departments.

The project will be governed by Federal Law No.224-FZ “On public-private and municipal-private partnerships in the Russian Federation and amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation.” This is a technically challenging project, since it involves the reconstruction of an existing facility – a maternity hospital, which was closed several years earlier. Investments in the project excee RUB 12 billion.

The CLS team developed an organizational and legal framework for the project implementation, the set of documents required for submitting a proposal, and represented the client while the public partner considered the project proposal. CLS associates also provided legal support to the client at the final stage of negotiations with the public partner in the course of technical proofreading of the agreement and preparing the agreement for signing. CLS associates are currently providing legal support for its implementation.

The agreement was signed in January of 2023.
