MCC completes bidding supervision tasks for Mongolian project

MCC Xibei Engineering &Technology Co, a subsidiary of China Metallurgical Group Corporation, has successfully completed the bidding supervision tasks for a project to renovate shanty towns in Mongolia, according to local media reports.

The company has been entrusted by the Baotou people's government to undertake management tasks of the project, and also to carry out limited supervision and management of the entire project process.

Due to the global COVID-19 outbreak, China and Mongolia had suspended personnel exchanges between the two sides. In July, the governments of China and Mongolia opened a "green channel", which provided a way to allow the continuation of the reconstruction project of Mongolia's shanty towns.

In early September, the company sent three experts and technicians to Mongolia to form a project bidding supervision team. After completing a 21-day medical isolation observation in Ulan Bator, the team conducted fruitful work exchanges with Mongolia.

Due to the impact of the epidemic, Mongolia has not yet opened customs. The project supervision team rushed to Zamyn-Uud to cooperate with Baotou city to "send" and "receive" tenders on both sides of the border between China and Mongolia.

Thanks to the efforts of all parties to coordinate and cooperate, on the morning of Oct 27, the three bidding documents entered Mongolia smoothly, which provided a guarantee for the bid opening of the project to be held as scheduled.

On Oct 28, the bid evaluation committee of the Ministry of Architecture and Urban Construction of Mongolia organized bid opening, bid evaluation, and bidding.
