After the successful completion of the selection procedure for the contractor of the renovation activities aimed at revitalizing the spaces in the Museum of Humor and Satire, this significant cultural institution in the city is now undergoing a new development. The procedure was conducted through a public procurement process in accordance with the Public Procurement Act, involving a lengthy evaluation and selection process.
The initiative to revitalize the Museum of Humor and Satire is of utmost importance for enriching the cultural landscape in the region and preserving the national cultural heritage. Following the public procurement process with two separate lots, the Museum is ready to open up new perspectives for its visitors.
After a thorough evaluation of the received offers, the Public Procurement Commission decided to terminate the initial procedure, providing a well-founded argument that protecting public interest requires optimization of market proposals. This approach encouraged competition, ultimately leading to the selection of the best possible offer.
The process of selecting a new contractor commenced in April 2023 and concluded successfully after an evaluation by the Evaluation Commission in June of the same year. The outcome was the signing of a contract for the execution of the public procurement, titled “Execution of Construction Works for the Revitalization of Spaces in the Museum ‘House of Humor and Satire,'” with a completion deadline set for November 29, 2023.
Four companies participated in the second procedure for the selection of the contractor, and the selection was made based on strict criteria ensuring the highest quality of execution. The company that scored the highest points successfully won the contract.
With the leadership team of the Museum of Humor and Satire and the selected contractor, we are certain that the renovation activities will rejuvenate the museum spaces and create a renewed and exciting environment for visitors.
We eagerly anticipate seeing the results of this incredible opportunity to enrich the cultural life in the region and provide a better and more interesting experience for all those who choose to visit the Museum of Humor and Satire.
