Municipal cleaning companies complain of custom-made tender for Pražské služby

The Czech Press Agency has reported that a multi-billion crown tender for municipal cleaning in Prague will apparently go to the city-owned company Pražské služby, which already handles a part of such services. According to the press agency, smaller cleaning companies are complaining that they were unable to take part in the tender because the public order was custom made for Pražské služby. Among other things, the city requires the winning company to have turnover of 500 million crowns for the last three accounting periods. The order is for summer and winter clean-up in Prague for a period of eight years and is worth 9.6 billion crowns. The city says that the winner has not yet been chosen and will be announced in the coming weeks.
