Tender for purchase of 25 trams continued – New bid submission deadline May 27

The tender for the purchase of 25 new trams for the needs of GSP Beograd, which was suspended at the beginning of May due to the filed request for the protection of rights, is continuing, and May 27, until 8.30am, that is, next Monday, has been set as the new deadline for the submission of bids by interested bidders. Before the suspension of the tendering procedure, launched on April 11, the initial deadline was May 7.

Regarding this tender, since it was opened, the potential bidders have asked an unusual number of questions, and the complaints made by the potential bidders concerned the short deadlines, both the bid submission deadline, but also the deadline for the delivery of the vehicles. Another complaint concerned the fact that the tender envisaged for the deadline for the delivery of the first vehicles (a minimum of two) to not be longer than 18 months from the day of the signing of the agreement, whereas the deadline for the delivery of all the other vehicles was no longer than 15 months, counting from the day of the reception of the bidder’s written request. Within their complaints, the potential bidders said that the standard delivery deadline, including the homologation, was 30 to 36 months – given the assumption that every procuring entity would request vehicles with some special characteristic and whose production would require a certain amount of time, and not the vehicles already in stock.
