SOF Connect announces the start of the Pre-Qualification (PreQ) stage in the tender procedure for “Design and construction of a new Terminal 3, pre-terminal area, transport hub and modernization of the existing Terminal 2 at Vasil Levski Airport – Sofia”.

At this stage, SOF Connect will identify and allow companies with proven technical, financial and organizational capacity, as well as experience in the implementation of airport infrastructure projects of a similar scale, to submit offers.

Detailed information, including deadlines, document submission requirements, and evaluation criteria, is included in the official documentation for the Pre-Qualification stage, which will be provided after submission of a duly signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Detailed instructions for the proper completion, signing, and submission of the NDA are published on the SOF Connect website https://sofia-airport.eu, under the Business section, Procurement subsection.
