Construction of the Vorë-Hani i Hotit railway - EBRD extends the deadline for receiving offers from interested companies
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has extended the deadline for accepting bids for the construction of the Vorë-Hani i Hotit railway.
The tender was opened in December and according to the deadlines, interested companies could submit bids until January 24, 2025. However, according to an update on the EBRD website, bids will now be accepted until February 24, 2025.
This is a pre-qualification phase, which means that companies that pass the first phase will be invited to a second phase, until the selection of the company that will implement the works.
With the completion of the tender procedures and the conclusion of the contract, the way is opened for the implementation of works for one of the most important railway projects in the country.
As previously announced, the main works will include the modernization of approximately 120 km of permanent road between Vora and Hani i Hoti to achieve a maximum operating speed of 100–120 km/h.
The total cost for the rehabilitation of the railway line that will connect Albania with Montenegro is 368 million euros and is co-financed with loans provided by the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, a grant from the European Union and the Albanian government that will cover the cost of any land relocation, resettlement, and taxes necessary to finalize the project.
