Bulgaria's Economy Ministry has allowed 7 out of 14 bidders to remain in the competition for winning the tender for creating a national tourism online portal.
Seven companies that submitted bids were eliminated based on failure to comply with the set criteria.
The bids of the other seven were opened on Friday showing that they offered prices between BGN 990 000 and BGN 1 560 765. The Ministry's commission will proceed with the next round of elimination.
