ArmInfo. Who said that this process would harm the development of the investment environment?, asks the acting manager of Elsetey Armenia Romanos Petrosyan on the social network and himself "records" that "even at the embryonic stage" "a powerful impetus has been given to economic activity in the sector."
Thus, in his post entitled "A Pure Statement," Romanos Petrosyan recalls that a few days ago, ESA CJSC announced the start of the pre-tender stage, which is necessary for the proper implementation of two procurement processes (project services and cable) in order to conduct a market study and ensure the most inclusive competitive activity.
At the moment, he noted, 14 companies have already submitted applications to participate in the tender for the procurement of project services, 12 companies - to participate in the tender for the cable procurement procedure. There are almost 2 days left before the deadline for submitting applications.
"I ask all interested economic entities to contact the relevant ESA department in the prescribed manner to participate in the planned large-scale purchases and supplies and cooperate on objective competitive conditions.
P.S. The fact is that in recent years only 2-3 companies have participated in these ESA processes, which is due to very "special and privileged" circumstances.
P.S. 1. Who said that this process would harm the development of the investment environment? The fact is that even at the embryonic stage it undoubtedly gave a powerful impetus to economic activity in the sector>, - summarizes the temporary manager of Electric Networks of Armenia CJSC.
Since 2016, Electric Networks of Armenia CJSC has belonged to the Tashir Group of Companies, founded by Russian-Armenian businessman Samvel Karapetyan. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan announced his intention to nationalize ESA after Samvel Karapetyan expressed public support for the AAC. Then the Armenian parliament adopted a package of legislative amendments aimed at nationalizing the ESA company owned by Tashir Group, and on July 18, by the decision of the head of the Public Services Regulatory Commission, Romanos Petrosyan was appointed as the temporary manager of Elseti within the framework of administrative proceedings and the application of preventive measures against ESA.
On August 1, the temporary manager of ESA CJSC Romanos Petrosyan announced the procurement process within the framework of an investment program worth approximately $125 million.
P.S. Let me remind you that until now, work of this scale was carried out only by ONE organization, which occupied a monopoly position, dictating its terms and prices," Petrosyan wrote.
On July 24, at a briefing in the government, the head of the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) of Armenia Mesrop Mesropyan stated that the approved investment program is calculated until 2034 and is subject to mandatory implementation.
According to him, the Karapetyan family is obliged to continue implementing the investment program in the Elseti company, despite the appointment of an interim manager.
