EXPLANATORY WORKSHOP
On May 9, 2022 an Explanatory Workshop was organized to clarify any doubts that had arisen regarding the documentation bidders have to prepare for the tender.
More than 120 attendees asked about the process, financial details, consortia building, open platform, subcontracting, award criteria and much more.
EXPLANATORY WORKSHOP on ROSIA´s call for tender
Both ROSIA’s presentation and the subsequent Q&A session (split into clips per question) are available for download from ROSIA’s website.
All Q&As have been transcribed and posted in the Spanish Public Procurement Platform, which is also the channel potential bidders are invited to use in submitting any pending questions.
