EBRD has approved the Ukraine Public Transport Framework to support investments in public transport renewal in Ukrainian cities. The Public Transport Framework will finance a number of smaller sub-projects. Each municipal transport company will establish a Project Implementation Unit to manage sub-project implementation on a daily basis.
Under the Public Transport Framework, funds will be allocated for the acquisition of new trams; rehabilitation and modernisation of tram infrastructure, renovation of depot and acquisition of new maintenance equipment.
For this project, EBRD intends to enter into framework agreements with up to six consultants to enable the bank to call upon a shortlist of pre-qualified firms from which it can quickly and efficiently obtain reliable services. The framework agreement will establish, in advance, fee rates for experts, contract terms and agreements, and procedures that will govern individual assignments to be required to implement the Public Transport Framework. Expressions of interest for the consultancy framework agreements can be sent until 7 June.
Each Project Implementation Unit will co-ordinate all activities under the Public Transport Framework. The selected consultant will support the Project Implementation Unit in all aspects of project implementation, including preparation of detailed designs, technical specifications, tender documentation, assistance with tendering, tender evaluation and contract finalisation, administration and supervision of the contract implementation, as well as set up of the disbursement system.
