The state-owned gas transmission and storage system operator Bulgartransgaz SPLTD announced the bidding on three public procurement contracts in the course of five days worth a total of €21.1 mln, posted the corporate website of the company. The tenders are for the selection of a designer and constructor of the gas pipelines to the towns of Montana, Kozloduy, Oriahovo, as well as for the construction of the gas link connecting Bulgaria and Romania between Ruse and Giurgiu.

Bulgartransgaz planned to allocate €12.5 mln for the construction of the pipeline to Kozloduy and Oryahovo, while the tube is expected to be completed within a year. The total value of the facility was estimated at nearly €14.5 mln and part of the funds were loaned by the International Fund Kozloduy NPP, which is managed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

The 80-km long pipeline should be extended to the town of Silistra. In fact, Bulgartransgaz has scheduled to spend about €1.4 mln for its construction, judging by the participation guarantee amounting to €70,000. The facility is expected to be ready a year after the launch of its construction. Funds were also earmarked for the construction of a gas pipeline under the International Fund Kozloduy NPP. The entire project costs €14.5 mln.

The third public procurement contract of Bulgartransgaz, concluded for the construction of a gas connection between Ruse and Giurgiu, includes the digging of a route under the Danube River. The facility is being constructed jointly with the Romanian Transgaz operator, while the public procurement contract costs €7.2 mln. For its implementation, the European Reconstruction Fund allocated €8.9 mln, while the cost of the entire project is €23.8 mln, explained Bulgartransgaz SPLTD.

The gas transmission and storage system operator has terminated the announced bidding on the public procurement contract for the rehabilitation and modernisation of the compressor stations ''Strandja", "Petrich", "Lozenets" and "Ihtiman", on which the gas supplies to Greece, Turkey and Macedonia depend.
