Construction of Highway E-80: Nis (Merosina) to Plocnik (Beloljin), Section 1: Merosina – Merosina 1 (km 00+478.00 – km 5+670.00)

Procurement was an open procedure (without prequalification), single-stage, two envelope system. The Tender comprised two envelopes submitted simultaneously, one called the Technical Tender and the other the Price Tender, both envelopes enclosed together in an outer single envelope. The Technical Tenders were opened promptly after the deadline for submission of tenders. The Price Tenders remained unopened and were held in custody of the Employer until the specified time of their opening pursuant to the procurement documents, ITP 23.2. An affirmative determination of the Tenderer’s Technical Tender pursuant to the procurement documents ITP 24-34 was a prerequisite for the Tenderer to be invited to the opening of the Price Tenders. The Employer awarded the Contract to the Tenderer whose Tender had been determined to be the lowest price of the compliant and technically responsive tender provided further that the Tenderer was determined to be qualified to perform the Contract satisfactorily.
Tender documents were issued electronically upon request, free of charge only to tenderers who have directly contacted the Employer (sent request at email procurement@koridorisrbije.rs).
All clarifications (issued in accordance with ITP 8.1) and all amendments or addenda (issued in accordance with ITP 9) were issued on the Employer’s website and were sent via email only to tenderers who had obtained TDs directly from the Employer.
The contract will be financed with the proceeds of loans from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) (“the Banks”) and a grant from the Western Balkans Investment Framework (WBIF).
The Banks shall not provide or otherwise make funds available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of an individual or entity that is subject to financial sanctions imposed by the EU, either autonomously or pursuant to the financial sanctions decided by the United Nations Security Council on the basis of Article 41 of the UN Charter and EU sanctions giving effect to UN Security Council resolutions that impose sanctions.
Firms originating from all countries of the world were eligible to tender. However, tenderers shall not be in conflicts of interest or have been declared ineligible by the Banks.
The applicable procurement rules are the EIB’s Guide to Procurement (GtP) which can be downloaded at: http://www.eib.org/en/infocentre/publications/all/guide-to-procurement.htm
The remedy mechanism was in line with clause 1.8.1 of the GtP.  The Appeal Procedure was included in the Tender documents.
All tenders had to be accompanied by a tender security of EUR 400,000 or its equivalent in a freely convertible currency. Tender security had to be valid twenty-eight (28) days beyond the tender validity.
