The delivery timeline for the new fleet of electric buses has been detailed, with the initial thirty units expected to arrive either in October or January. The complete supply of a total of 150 buses is projected to be finalized over a period of eighteen months. Minister and Deputy Minister of Transport, Aleksandar Nikolloski, provided an update on the procurement process, confirming the conclusion of all associated legal proceedings.
He announced that a recent appeal filed with the Second Instance Appeal Commission for Public Procurement was rejected today. This decision marks the final resolution of the appeal process, allowing the project to move forward successfully. With the legal challenges concluded, the focus now shifts entirely to the contract signing phase.
Following the formal signing of the contract, the delivery deadline is set at six months. In light of this schedule, the Minister addressed the designated bidder, who will serve as the state’s official contractor. He reiterated the expectation for the prompt delivery of the first batch of buses according to the established timeline.
The successful navigation of the appeal process clears the path for the state to formalize agreements with the chosen vendor. This structured approach ensures that the deployment of the electric buses proceeds according to the established milestones, meeting the public’s need for modernized public transport infrastructure within the projected timeframe.
