BRATISLAVA, September 10 (WebNoviny.sk) - The Office for Public Procurement (IPO) resolves one of the bidders in a public tender for the Cargo Slovakia, as (ZSSK CARGO) Railway Company for operating leases. A state-owned freight carrier wants to rent ten more system locomotives for ten years for 58.8 million. EUR value added tax (EUR 70.56 million including VAT). Ivo is actively involved in the matter, Janka Zvoncekova, the Ivos spokeswoman, told the SITA agency on Monday without further details. THE NUMBER OF OFFERS IS UNKNOWN ZSSK CARGO said it wants to evaluate the competition and conclude the contract in the shortest possible time, as it wants to make busy use of its business opportunities this year. Reasoning for an ITO will have an impact on the prolongation of the competition. With regard to the ongoing proceedings conducted in connection with the competition in question, the Public Procurement Office of ZSSK CARGO can not proceed with its evaluation until the time of the final decision in the matter (provided that the Office does not cancel the competition or will not order ZSSK CARGO to cancel the competition) and we can not currently predict the timing of the decision and the acquisition of its validity, Silvia Kuncová, CEO of ZSSK CARGO CEO, told SITA. The railway operator did not disclose how many bids were received in the competition by May 9 (to evaluate the terms of participation), whether someone had excluded it and when bidding envelopes were to open. As the selection procedure has not yet been completed, we can not provide more detailed information on the above, Kunc said. ENVELOPES WITH BIDS HAVE NOT OPENED YET ZSSK CARGO considers leases to be more advantageous than buying them. Leasing of railroad vehicles is a more flexible and, at the moment, a more advantageous model for the carrier, allowing prompt response to customer and market changes as well as changing European Union legislation. In the above competition, participation conditions have been assessed so far and the results of this evaluation have been announced to the tenderers. However, one of the tenderers has filed a complaint with the IAO despite the fact that the competition is not part of the public procurement law, since CARGO does not have to proceed within the meaning of this law, Ladislav Cengel, state secretary of the Ministry of Transport and Construction, Ladislav Cengelová told the Parliamentary Committee on Economic Affairs last week on Thursday. We are waiting for an opinion of the IBA, which, we suppose, is about whether it is competent to comment on this competition. We believe we will reach the consensus with the UFO , added Cengelova, with the winner not yet known and the envelope with the bids still open. According to the decision of the committee, the transport department has to inform about the competition within thirty days after its termination. OLAB CRITICIZED LEASED BUS The Opposition Movement, in May, criticized the lease of leases as less favorable than the purchase, and claimed it was suspicious, with the presumption that it could be the winner of the Leasing Bratislava Leasing Company in Bratislava. At the same time, the motion also announced that the Supreme Audit Office of the Slovak Republic should file a motion to investigate the competition, the Minister of Transport and Construction Arpád Érsek called for the tender to be canceled. Transport Expert Jiri Kubacek informed that rental of bus drivers is less advantageous than purchase due to their service life of thirty years. The price of the new burglar is 4.5 mil. the maintenance cost of an electric car for the duration of its lifetime will almost never exceed the cost of its procurement, that is, another 4.5 million. euros. As a result, the lifetime cost, ie thirty years for ten drivers, is $ 90 million. euro, said Kubacek. Hiring ten ten-year-olds for thirty years would cost him about 180 million. euros, twice as much as their purchase. |
