On November 12, the largest tender for the construction of the Rail Baltica railway line in Latvia was launched. To support the procurement process and to inform interested suppliers, answer their questions, and obtain feedback on the announced international tender "Rail Baltica mainline construction in Latvia”, the Rail Baltica national implementing body - Eiropas Dzelzceļa līnijas – is organising an online webinar on December 7, 2021 at 3 p.m. (EET).
The tender aims for early contractor involvement to carry out the Rail Baltica mainline, and infrastructure construction works in Latvia (outside the capital city of Rīga). The international tender will be carried out in two stages. It is expected that the winner will be chosen, and contract concluded at the end of 2022, ensuring that the construction of the new railway line can start in the first half of 2023.
During the webinar members of the construction industry will be introduced to the tender qualification requirements for the first stage of the procurement. Additionally, more information about mainline construction contract general principles will be provided on subject of early contractor involvement, requirements for planning and development before construction and main principles of organization of the contract. A question-and-answer session will be held during the meeting.
