The Kosovo Energy Corporation (KEK) has been at the center of criticism after the condition of the blocks, LDK MP Hykmete Barami wrote that the tender worth 137.3 million euros for the rehabilitation and modernization of unit A3 of the "Kosova A" Power Plant, which was initiated without a feasibility study.
The tender, announced on January 22, 2025, initially envisaged the acceptance of applications until March 3, but has been postponed several times and, according to the latest announcement on the procurement platform, the new deadline is until July 4. So far, according to MP Bajrami, five corrections have been made to the tender documentation.

KEK tender worth 137,340,000 Euros, without feasibility study
While the condition of KEK's units is deplorable and in less than 10 months, according to KEK's own announcements, we have had 6 unit failures and 4 overhauls, the saga of the tender "Rehabilitation and Modernization of Unit A3 TC "KOSOVA A" in the amount of 137,340,000 Euros continues from January 22, according to the latest announcement, until July 4, even though when the tender was announced in January it was stated that applications would be accepted until March 3.
The main problem in this tender is the lack of seriousness on the part of KEK, knowing that 10% of the energy demand is generated precisely by unit A3.
Believe it or not, this tender for the “Rehabilitation and Modernization of Unit A3 of the “KOSOVA A” Power Plant is being conducted through an “open procedure with negotiations” (see photo p. 20 of the Standard Prequalification Document) and this is not the biggest problem here, the problem is in the reasoning. The reasoning for this procedure is that KEK opened this tender in the amount of 137,340,000 Euros without conducting a feasibility study, that is, that KEK has allocated a budget of 137,340,000 Euros, but does not know what the winner of the tender needs to do in Unit A3. So what will be done will depend on the company that wins the tender, that is, the private economic operator tells KEK what needs to be done in Unit A3 to “rehabilitate and modernize it”. This is not just a conflict of interest, but it is mismanagement, misuse and an opportunity for corruption.
Furthermore, this tender was opened in January, it has been corrected 5 times so far, and apart from the standard prequalification document, there are no other documents in the e-procurement because there is no tender dossier, BECAUSE as I said, KEK does not know what needs to be done in unit A3, of TPP A.
So, this tender has been postponed several times, it has been corrected several times, there are no penalties for non-implementation and the tender is open until July 4th, where only 6 applications will be accepted, and then the tender will be won, not by the one who is the best, but by the one who is the most skillful in negotiations.
I encourage you to see this tender for yourself and understand why we have KEK in the state we have today.
First call on 22.01.2025 (date of dispatch) and 23.01.2025 (date of notification): http://e-prokurimi.rks-gov.net/…/DokumentPodaciFrm.aspx…
Here are also the B54 forms for correcting errors in published announcements but not downloaded, because they are not found in the tender dossier, because as was said, there is no dossier.
