o European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is a strategic financial partner of M-NAV GOJSC that has financially supported M-NAV`s development cycles since the year of 1994. Following previously conducted procedure for long-term debt to international financial institutions, the same one conducted in coordination with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Transport and Communication, on 24.09.2013 M-NAV GOJSC Skopje signed a non sovereign Loan Agreement with EBRD for providing funds for the “M-NAV Modernization Project/Macedonian Air Navigation System Upgrading, in the amount of EUR 11.150.000,00, the same being the fourth credit line concluded with EBRD whereby all project procurement processes and procedures are implemented in accordance to the EBRD Procurement Policies and Rules.

o The Loan Agreement that was reached in the year of 2013 covers several project components for supply of communication systems, radar aids and meteorological equipment, but the supply, installation and commissioning of ATM system including technical-operating room is its primary component.

o ATM System is a primary system that is used by M-NAV GOSJC Skopje in order to perform its core activity – a provision of air navigation services over the Airspace of the Republic of North Macedonia, having an aim to provide safe, smooth, regular and efficient conduct of flights, due to this the Executive Director of Air Navigation Services has been selected to be assigned as Project Manager.

o On 25.10.2016, final approval of the First Stage Tender Evaluation Report and proceeding with the Second Stage of the Tender Procedure was obtained by EBRD, thus on 31.10.2016 a Second Stage Invitation for Submission of Tenders (technical and financial) was submitted to the selected three companies. Two (2) companies responded to the invitation and the evaluation of the two received second stage tenders was also conducted in continuous cooperation and coordination with the Consultants, EBRD and with Eurocontrol.
