Bulgaria’s Commission for Protection of Competition (CPC) has dismissed an appeal filed by “Kabano Proekt” Ltd. against the public procurement process for the design of the National Pediatric Hospital. The decision, dated June 11th, removes a key obstacle to the project’s progression. “Kabano Proekt” had challenged the terms of the tender, seeking to halt the design phase. With the appeal rejected, the process can now move forward, allowing for the selection of a design firm. The National Pediatric Hospital has been a long-planned infrastructure project intended to consolidate and improve pediatric healthcare in Bulgaria. Further details of the CPC’s reasoning were not immediately available. This ruling is expected to accelerate the hospital’s development timeline.
