The consortium between the Bulgarian “Stanilov” company and the German “Heilit” is the likely winner of the public tender to build the waste treatment plant in Bulgaria's capital Sofia.
The consortium has submitted an offer with the lowest construction price and operational costs.
The price offers for the Sofia City Hall's largest public tender were opened Wednesday with only 2 of the 10 bidders reaching the final stage - “Stanilov-Heilit,” and the joint offer of the Greek “Helektor” and the German “Hochtief .”
“Stanilov-Heilit's” price offer is BGN 208 808 700 while the cost for maintenance of the equipment is BGN 9 427 949 per year. The Greek-German consortium is offering BGN 240 614 029 and BGN 9 828 899 respectively.
The final ranking and the winning bidder will be announced on June 15, after the City Hall verifies the price offers for mistakes.
The signing of the contract and the groundbreaking might be delayed by 2 to 3 months over some of the bidders who have already announced they will appeal the procedure. The construction deadline is 2 years from the date of the signing of the contract. The plant will be located near the village of Yana, adjacent to Sofia.
