2.1.4 General information

Additional information : The procedure was conducted under the EIB Guide to Procurement (September 2018) and was intended to be financed by a WBIF grant and, as needed, an EIB loan. A restricted procedure was launched with an international call for Expressions of Interest published on the 09th of June 2023 in the OJEU (TED 2023/S 110-342243) and in local media on the 14th of June 2023 (“Nova Makedonija” and “Koha Ditore”). The Expressions of Interest were due by the 1st of August 2023. Nine applications were received and after pre-qualification and EIB prior approval, on the 10th of January 2024 ZRSMI sent the Request for Proposals (RfP) to six shortlisted candidates, with proposals due by the 19th of March. Five proposals were received and were to be evaluated in two stages (technical first, then financial). In accordance with the Government Conclusion of the 27th of August 2025, and given the dependency of the supervision contract on the works contract (which was cancelled under PRAG 2.6.13), the procedure was discontinued pre-award: the technical evaluation was completed, however the financial proposals were not opened. The sealed financial proposals will remain unopened and will be returned to the tenderers in due course.

5.1.6 General information

Procurement Project fully or partially financed with EU Funds.
The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) : no
Additional information : This procedure was discontinued pre-award following the Government Conclusion of the 27th of August 2025 instructing cancellation and relaunch under EIB rules. The procedure was cancelled because the works tender had been cancelled under PRAG 2.6.13 due to fundamental changes in the project’s technical parameters. As the supervision contract is inseparable from the works, its scope and financing must be revised; continuing the existing procedure would not be feasible or efficient, so a new tender will be launched on a revised basis.
