Cancellation of wagons to be purchased for Ankara metro is on the agenda…

After the tender, it was claimed that the Chinese company did not even provide documents on the safety of wagons to the tender commission. Y Auxiliar De Ferrocarriles SA, based in Spain, participated in the tender.

Not safe

Upon determination that the company did not provide documents related to the safety of wagons, the relevant companies carried the matter to the judiciary. The Ankara Regional Administrative Court, which found the objections right, took a 'decision to stop execution' regarding the tender won by the Chinese CSR Electric firm and asked the Public Procurement Board to 'do its requirement'. After the court's decision, the Public Procurement Board, which has taken the decision to continue the tender in a controversial manner, is expected to cancel the tender from the "Legal obligation".
