The first public procurement procedure initiated by the Presidential Administration during the mandate of the new President of Romania, Nicușor Dan, provides for contracting works for the construction of a new building at the Cotroceni Palace. ″The analysis of the situation in recent years has shown the functional deficiencies of the spaces that house the institution's archive. Currently, the Archive Department within the General Services Directorate carries out its activity in building C12, which was not designed to host this type of activity. The existing building was transformed into an archive and adapted to the functional requirements resulting from Law no. 16/1996, having a limited, but sufficient surface area, for the volume of documents that required archiving at that time. The year-on-year increase in the volume of documents that need to be archived leads to the need to create new spaces for their safe storage″, the award documentation states. The value of the contract put out to tender by the Presidential Administration, for ″Construction works of the C12 bis building - stage I″, is estimated at over RON 4 million plus VAT. The expected duration of the works is 430 days. Offers can be submitted until June 26 and it is estimated that the contract will be awarded in August this year. Source: Profit.ro
