Gentian Gjyli, General Director of the Albanian Road Authority

The Albanian Road Authority has announced the winners of 3 companies for the construction of the Papër-Ura e Grykshit road axis, part of the Elbasan-Lekaj highway. The administrator of this Authority, Gentian Gjylja, who has replaced Berberi, Verdhon, etc., some of whom are under investigation and trial by SPAK for serious abuse of office, has divided part of the large "cake" of the funds he administers, where the construction of this axis has opened a total of 6 lots. The halves of the tenders, worth 75 million euros, have been divided into three parts, where the big firms such as AGBES, GECI and ALB-BUILDING have emerged as winners.

VoxNews has browsed the tender documents of the ARRSH, where it has been found that the difference between the lowest bids and the winning bids, in the three lots, is around 9 million euros (895,566,124 Lek to be exact). This was the "Gjylja" of the head of the Authority on these funds, as there is also a difference between the limit fund and the winning one. Gjylja of the ARRSH has been a little more careful than his predecessors, who had predetermined the winners of the tenders, and even bargained for their "separation", as was also the result of SPAK's investigations. The current head has been sneaky, making a rotation of winners and giving them to several hands.

The above document is the announcement of the winner of the first lot for the construction of the road "construction of the road axis Papërr - Ura e Grykshit, phase I". This lot had a limit fund of 2,499,470,250 ALL, while the winner was the company "AGBES CONSTRUKSION", with an offer of 2,074,513,966. However, the lowest offer in this lot was the one worth 1,646,494,372 ALL, of the union of economic operators "PE - VLA - KU", "BIBA-X" and "XHAST". The difference between the winning bid and the lowest bid is a full 428,019,594. Quite a "bargain" between officials of the Albanian Road Authority and the winners. In the meantime, most of the bidders have been disqualified by the ARRSH, where it seems that the winner has emerged "by chance".

Meanwhile, in parallel with the first winner, Gentian Gjylja has announced the winner of the tender of the second phase, with the object "construction of the road axis Elbasan - Papërr phase II". The limit fund of this procedure was 2,492,479,475, or about 25 million euros. The winner was the offer of "GECI", a company that had an offer of 1,809,681,121 ALL. Meanwhile, the lowest bid was worth 1,759,256,668. The difference between the lowest bid and the winner is 50,424,453, or over 500 thousand euros.

VoxNews continued to research the documents of these tenders, focusing on the third phase. This phase had a value of 2,492,487,966, while the offer of the winning company "ALB-BUILDING" was 2,109,239,297 ALL. Meanwhile, the lowest bid was worth 1,692,117,220. The difference between the lowest bid and the winner was a full 417,122,077 ALL.

ARRSH has also listed the reasons for the disqualification of the lowest bids, justifying that the means were engaged in other work, should have done similar work or the employees are not complete. However, the participants in these 3 lots of 3 phases have been the largest construction firms, from those engaged throughout Albania, where in some cases they have won with an offer close to the fund limit. And, in all these 3 stages, just from one stroke of Gjyle's pencil, the difference between the lowest offer and the winning one was 895,566,124 ALL, or converted to Euros, 9 million. Always without VAT and without additional works, where most of these firms also receive additional funds of 20% of the fund of a phase.
