After the end of the public procurement procedure, a framework agreement will be signed with the selected bidder for a period of one year, according to the tender documentation, writes Filip Rudić for The new economy.
Upon conclusion of the framework agreement, "Čistoća" will issue and deliver written purchase orders to the selected service provider, in which they will inform him of their needs.
"Cistoća" will issue these purchase orders until the realization of the total value of the framework agreement or no later than one year from the date of conclusion of the agreement, according to the technical specification.
Otherwise, PUC "Čistoća" plans to spend a total of 1.438.970.000 dinars for the procurement of works, goods and services in 2025.
This company did not answer New Economy's questions about why they are looking for a private partner to perform the work that is the core activity of "Cleaning".
A possible explanation for this cost is not mentioned in the business program for the year 2025 of PUC "Cistoće".
Nemanja Nenadić from the Transparency Serbia organization said that the decision of a public company to hire other companies for tasks within its core competence can be not only inappropriate behavior, but also against the law.
"At first glance, and in any case until the public company provides some reasonable explanation for this kind of procedure, it seems to be a waste of public resources," Nenadić told Nova Ekonomija.
Even in the event that such behavior is approved and is not against the rules, the question of expediency arises, he added.
Long-term partners known to the public
This is not the first time that PUC "Čistoća" tenders for the provision of services under its jurisdiction.
Last year, two such contracts were concluded, worth 150 and 140 million dinars, respectively, as can be seen on the public procurement portal.
Also, in 2023, a contract worth 149 million dinars was concluded, and in 2022 for 100 million dinars.
In all four cases, the winner of the job was a consortium of the same three companies - Optimum MV-NS, Laboris and Montop HRS.
Montop is an employment agency owned by Marko Bosanc, a businessman close to the Serbian Progressive Party.
The Bosnian was last mentioned in the media in April of this year, when the ceiling of a school in Rača collapsed. This school was reconstructed by a group of contractors, including Bosanč's company "Montop Pro Technology", the media wrote at the time.
The Bosnian is known for having led the chanting at SNS rallies several times, but also for the numerous jobs that his companies receive from the state, which include meter reading.

There is, literally, no difference between the one who claims it is day in the middle of the night, or the one who claims to be a giraffe, from the claims we read on billboards: that Vučić is working to unify Serbs and that Serbia is doing better and better day by day.
The pre-election arrests due to the alleged "overthrow of the state" testify to the regime's panic. The bad news for them is - they can't arrest the whole people who decided to defend themselves from progressive beatings and election theft
