EBRD announces third tender for Tirana public transport terminal PPP
The Municipality of Tirana (Albania) has launched the third tender process for the Design Build, Finance Operate Transfer (DBFOT) concession of the Tirana Public Transport Terminal Project.
In February 2014, the Municipality of Tirana (MoT) already launched a second tender process for the project after the fruitless tender launched in September 2013.
The Feasibility Study was prepared by a consortium led by Italferr, an Italian engineering company. The initial investment cost is estimated at €40.9 million (US$56 million) and the completion of the construction works is foreseen after two years and four months after the signature of the concession contract.
In structuring the project as a concession, the MoT will offer an 85,000 m2 land plot situated along the main corridor leading north-westerly out of the city toward Durres. The winning bidder will be selected in an open international tender under a design build, finance operate and transfer (DBFOT) for a period between 15 and 35 years.
The project involves the construction, operation and maintenance the terminal for the benefit of operators and passengers. In exchange, all bus docking fees, retail rental revenues, and parking fees, will be collected by the concessionaire.
The project also includes the construction of a tram depot and a tram-train station that will be the head station of Tirana-Durres railway, replacing the current Central Station in Tirana, and one of the two terminal stations of the future tram line which will connect the terminal to the Tirana's centre using the no longer in use railway. The tram-train infrastructure (railway tracks and platforms, water works, electric works, signalling, shelters, etc.) are not part of the project.
The deadline for interested bidders is on or before November 7th, 2016 at 12:00 PM (Local time).

New law on PPPs and Concessions in Albania - Wolf Theiss
To date, Albania has seen a number of PPP projects, mainly in the area of the development and operation of hydro-power plants. While there is potential for PPP in all industry sectors including transport, public services, healthcare and waste, so far there has been little political support and little interest shown for the expansion of PPP projects into these sectors. It is yet to be seen in what direction and with what speed PPPs will evolve in Albania. Read more -
