The State Enterprise "Calea Ferată din Moldova" (CFM/ Moldovan Railways) intends using the proceeds of the loans from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) for infrastructure rehabilitation. The infrastructure rehabilitation is part of the ample and ambitious Restructuring and Reorganization Project of the Moldovan Railways, financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the European Investment Bank and the European Union’s Neighborhood Investment Facility.

The Moldovan Railways has launched the tender today (22nd February 2019) in order to select the company that will carry out the railway infrastructure rehabilitation works. The tendering will be conducted using the EBRD Client E-Procurement Portal (ECEPP) and interested companies shall register in ECEPP (https://ecepp.ebrd.com ) if they want to submit the tender as no other means of tenders submission will be accepted.

Moreover, CFM plans to shortly launch another tender to select a company that will be asked to implement the energy management information system in CFM.
