The City of Belgrade's Secretariat for Public Transport has officially announced a public procurement for the provision of public bus transportation services in the Surčin municipality, specifically along the 600 route.
This initiative is encompassed within a broader framework of public-private partnership arrangements.
The estimated value of the project is 114.45 billion dinars, approximately 976.5 million euros, with the contract for the selected partner expected to last for a period of ten years.
The proposed urban transport network consists of 12 lines, while the suburban and local transport framework is divided into 304 lines.
The procurement specifications detail the types and numbers of buses required for the operation.
For urban transport along route 600, a total of 76 buses are needed, which includes 47 standard buses and 22 articulated vehicles, in addition to 7 backup buses.
In terms of suburban and local lines, the requirement is for 297 buses, comprising 32 minibuses, 198 standard buses, and 40 articulated buses, with a further 27 vehicles designated as reserves.
In total, the new transport provider must supply 373 buses, with at least 170 of these being 'new tender vehicles' manufactured in 2023 or later.
Additionally, there is a stipulation for 68 of these buses to be hybrid or electric.
The buses must comply with Euro 6 emission standards and be equipped with features including video surveillance, a passenger counting system, informational displays, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
