Name of awarding authority NATSIONALNA ELEKTRICHESKA – EAD
This invitation for tenders follows the general procurement notice for this project which was published on the EBRD’s web site on 29.8.2002, updated 9.1.2004 and 24.11.2005.
The Natsionalna Elektricheska Kompania (NEK) (the Employer) has received a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the Bank) towards the cost of construction of new high-voltage power lines. The Employer now invites sealed tenders from eligible tenderers for the construction of new high-voltage power lines contract to be funded from part of the proceeds of the loan. The contract will comprise:
delivery of materials, on-site erection and installation services, including design, manufacture, delivery, quality assurance, erection, and all related civil works, commissioning, structural completion and connection of the facilities to the power supply, in 2 lots.
Tenderers may submit bids for either 1 lot seperately or for both lots at their discretion. If bonuses are offered, these will be evaluated for each lot separately.
The objective: by the connection of the Zlatitsa-Plovdiv 400 kV over-head line a link is established from the Kozloduy NPP through the Misia substation – the Stolnik substation – the Zlatitsa substation – to the Plovdiv substation (lot 2). Without this link it is not possible to provide stable operation of the Chaira PSHPP. To support this, the existing 110 kV lines will be re-routed and finalised (lot 1).
