Fandakova: Key tenders should not be held prior to the elections

“I am convinced that big, key tenders and projects should not be launched immediately prior the elections,” Sofia Mayor Yordanka Fandakova said today on BNR (Bulgarian National Radio), replying to comments for lack of transparency in the public procurement tenders, made by Proshko Proshkov, Blue Coalition candidate for capital city mayor. Fandakova added that she had decided to extend the contracts for minibus shuttles by several months on purpose, although the new contracts had been ready two or three months ago and had been widely discussed.

Candidate for Sofia mayor Proshko Proshkov in turn said there was no transparency in the implementation of public procurement orders. He also commented that the establishment of e-municipality should be a priority, but criticised the way it was being implemented by Sofia’s incumbent local government. He said that no criteria had been set for saving people's time and nerves in providing specific services.

Fandakova replied that the strategy for establishing the e-municipality had been drafted back in 2009, adding that a public tender had been launched and 13 companies had submitted bids so far. It was published on the websites of the Sofia Municipality and the Public Procurement Agency. Mayor Fandakova denied the media reports that she could be a candidate for President of GERB (Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria).
