Mayor Emiriana Sako openly exposes 'Rajli Ndërtim', rejects the decision of the Public Procurement Commission for the 1.7 million euro tender
Durrës Mayor Emiriana Sako has decided to openly violate every law and decision of supreme bodies to award the 1.7 million euro tender for the reconstruction of a building in Durrës to her favorite company, Rajli Ndërtim.
It is a limited reconstruction tender for the "Structural rehabilitation of building no. 167 "Viko" neighborhood 13, Plazh, Pavarësia Street. The scandal is so big that it has forced the Public Procurement Commission to intervene with two decisions, after Sako refuses to implement them.
The tender
The tender for the reconstruction of the palace was held by the Municipality of Durrës on April 17. 6 offers were submitted by different companies or combinations of companies. The Municipality of Durrës disqualified the 5 offers, qualifying only its preferred company, Rajli Ndërtim.
But immediately after the Municipality's decision to disqualify all bids, except for that of Rajli, a consortium of companies consisting of Lis Konstruksion and Murati complained to the Public Procurement Commission.
On April 28, the PPC reviewed the complaint of the two companies and ordered the Municipality of Durrës to re-evaluate the procurement procedure and disqualify the companies in question.
Two days later, the Municipality responded to the Procurement Commission, informing it that it had reassessed the procedure in accordance with the PPC decision. But this was not true, which forced the Public Procurement Commission to intervene with another decision requesting Sako to implement the first PPC decision.
"From the verification of the audit report in the electronic procurement system, the PPC finds that the contracting authority has re-evaluated the procedure in the electronic procurement system and has re-evaluated the merger of the economic operators "Lis Konstruksion" Shpk & "Murati" Shpk, by not implementing the findings referred to the PPC decision No. 571/2025, dated 28.04.2025," the PPC finds.

Due to this situation, the PPC has decided to suspend the tender, prohibiting the Municipality of Durrës from continuing with the procedure without first implementing the PPC's first decision.

This is one of the few times when the head of a contracting authority is so openly exposed to send the tender to a certain company, which is in fact a company very closely linked to Socialist Party officials in Durrës.
Pet company
Rajli is a company that exists solely to channel reconstruction money from public coffers into private accounts. According to official data from Open Data Albania, in the last five years this company has benefited from a total of 11.3 million euros in payments from public funds. Of these, 11 million euros came from the Municipality of Durrës alone.

In short, Rajli is the pet company of the Municipality of Durrës and exists only to receive money from this municipality. In the city of Durrës, it is rumored that Rajli Ndertim is a company that has high-ranking officials of the Socialist Party of Durrës as its actual owners. Official figures and Emiriana Sako's openly illegal exposure of Rajli reinforce this version quite a bit.
But in the face of all these facts, nothing happens./ Kapitali.al
