The city of Miskolc (NE Hungary) has issued a fourth tender for the purchase of 31 new trams, the regional daily Észak Magyarország reported on Tuesday.
The Public Procurement Arbitration Board has annulled three previous tenders for the trams as part of a HUF 37.7 billion public-transport project that also includes renovation and extension of Miskolc’s main tramline opened in 1897.
The newspaper said that the city of Miskolc has revised the fourth tender to reduce the probability of yet another annulment, noting that the city expects to sign a contract for delivery of the new trams at the end of August.
Hungary’s government and the European Union are funding about 90% of the cost of the priority project.
