The National Dispute Resolution Agency annulled the decision by which the municipality contracted the ISUZU company to supply 100 buses for the capital city after other participants in the tender contest challenged the result and the Agency ordered to reassess the bids, IPN reports, quoting the municipality.

The Chisinau City Hall reacted, saying the working group responsible for the assessment of bids submitted at the tender contest for the purchase of the 100 buses is to examine the Agency’s decision. Mayor general Ion Ceban said the representatives of the group and other persons involved in the process will come together for a meeting so as to identify the necessary solutions.

The municipality at the end of this July launched the public contest to acquire 100 new buses to improve the municipal passenger transport service for an estimated 270 million lei. Bids were submitted by the producer companies MAZ of Belarus, BMC of Romania, ISUZU of Turkey and OTOKAR of Turkey.
