EIB requests retender for Počitelj-Zvirovići highway section

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - The European Investment Bank (EIB) today sent a letter to JP Autoceste FBiH (JPAC) requesting that the contract award procedure for the construction of the Počitelj-Zvirovići section be repeated.

The Bank believes that the procurement procedure was violated due to the publication of confidential information in certain media. It was stated that these violated the confidentiality provisions of the Financing Agreement concluded between Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bank, although the Management, as they say, did everything to protect the integrity of the bid evaluation process that began on July 17, 2017.

- JPAC did everything to protect the integrity of the bid evaluation process that began on July 17, 2017. In this regard, the Bank, in its letter, offers an expert who will, at the Bank's expense, assist JPAC in the repeated procedure. The Management of JPAC does not wish to jeopardize the partnership with the Bank, as one of the key financiers in the construction of Corridor Vc, in any way and will continue communication with the Bank in the desire to implement the process of appointing an expert and re-tendering as soon as possible - it was announced from Autoceste FBiH.
