The energy ministry of
Bosnia’s Muslim-Croat Federation said on Tuesday it has called a new tender for
a consultant to advise it regarding the planned award of a concession for oil
and gas exploration after it cancelled the previous one.
The contract relates to the provision of consulting services in conducting
negotiations and preparing contract modality on behalf of the Federation
government as part of the concession award process, the entity's energy
ministry said in a statement posted on its website.
Bids should be submitted by November 19. The value of the consultancy contract
was not disclosed.
The energy ministry said earlier this month that the tender for a consultant to
advise the entity regarding the planned award of a concession for oil and gas
exploration had failed because all of the received bids were deemed
unacceptable.
In November 2013, the Federation's government asked the energy ministry to
launch negotiations to award Shell Exploration Company B.V. a concession for
the exploration ofoil and gas reserves.
The Federation is one of the two autonomous entities that make up Bosnia and
Herzegovina. The other is the Serb Republic.
