The Transmission System Operator, a state-owned company that maintains electricity pylons, has finalized a tender for the rental of vehicles in recent days. Skerdi Drenova has handed over the "battle" of managing the OST to Elisian Bici, who has also signed the latest tender.

Bici has also "broken" the State Police's record for renting vehicles, where he rented 1 vehicle for 33 and 34 thousand euros. Meanwhile, the OST itself will rent a vehicle for a value of 49,166 euros.

A "record" in itself, as there are suspicions that everything was done to favor the concessionaire company. The documents also included technical specifications, for length, width, thickness or even engine power. It is precisely these details that have led to the competition narrowing down and the company that meets them winning.

The object of the tender was "operational leasing vehicles, for a period of 5 years" from the OST, while the company "CLASSIC" offered a value of 28,440,000 million. The company "Tirana Auto" was also in the competition, with a value of 28,800,000 lek excluding VAT.

If we do a simple calculation, it turns out that the winning firm's bid is around 295 thousand euros, while 6 vehicles will be rented. It turns out that one vehicle will cost the OST a full 50 thousand euros.

But can such vehicles be purchased at this value? Of course, yes, even at a much lower value. It's all a scheme to favor car dealerships, who also impose conditions on state institutions. The connections they have created have also led to this scheme, where the vehicle, after being used with limits by the state, is returned to the firm.

According to documents researched by VoxNews, OST has also written the characteristics for the cars it will rent. According to it, the vehicle must be a Pickup, the minimum ground clearance must be no less than 200 mm, the minimum length must be 5200 mm, the height 1750 mm, the width of the vehicle 1800 mm, the distance between the axles 3000 mm, the distance between the front wheels 1500 mm and the distance between the rear wheels 1500 mm.

But, accurate data on the length, height and width of the bodywork are also required, as well as the weight of the car or how much weight it can hold. The engine capacity is also required to be a minimum of 2.2 liters, etc., etc. These characteristics have led to many other companies not participating in the tender. Was the entire tender predetermined?
