Technical requirements: The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “Bank” or “EBRD”) is considering a loan of EUR 41 million to the Government of Moldova (“the Borrower”) for the financing of Ungheni Chisinau Natural Gas Pipeline construction (“the Project” or “UCNGP”). The Project will be implemented by VestMoldTransGaz (“VMTG”) a state-owned new TSO and operator of UCNGP.
VMTG intends using the proceeds of a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, European Investment Bank and the EU (the Banks) to construct the natural gas trunk pipeline Ungheni – Chisinau in Moldova with the diameter of DN 600 and a length of 117 km.
The Project is part of the EU-promoted gas interconnection Romania – Moldova, of which the cross-border interconnector Iasi – Ungheni has been constructed and put into operation with low throughput in March 2015. The Project costs are expected to be up to 93m EUR, of which EBRD and EIB will provide sovereign loans of 41m EUR each and EU will provide a 10m EUR investment grant. The Project will require the procurement of the following goods, works and services:
• Consultancy services for project implementation support to assist the PIU with the Project procurement and implementation;
• Consultancy services for legal and regulatory assistance to the Government for the gas sector liberalisation;
Contracts to be financed with the proceeds of a loan from the Banks will be subject to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Procurement Policies and Rules and will be open to firms from any country. The proceeds of the Bank's loan will not be used for the purpose of any payment to persons or entities, or for any import of goods, if such payment or import is prohibited by a decision of the United Nations Security Council taken under Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations or under a law or official regulation of the Purchaser's country.
