The paperwork for the feasibility study will need to be approved by the technical-economic committee, which includes every department head in the Communication Ministry. Next week, the papers will be sent to procurement authority ANRMAP and published on the online tender notice system, SEAP, by May 15 at the latest, according to the initial schedule.
The project is already behind and has seen several changes to the network’s ownership and business operation, the minister said. The investment for the feasibility study has also been reduced from EUR4 million to EUR1.5 million.
“I hope the ministry’s future leadership (…) will carry this project forward, as it is very important to Romania and especially the IT&C industry,” Mustea said.
