Background

Through this project we plan to build and equip a modern JOBCP in compliance with the EU standards, this will contribute to removing currently existing in BCP Mayaki and BCP Udobne restrictions on the cargo of goods under the groups 1-24 of the Combined Nomenclature of Goods (transportation of animal, plants and food stuff made of them) imposed by the Ukrainian part due to the limited control capacity for these types of goods. The technical design is planned to be finalized by the end of 2015 followed with the construction works for the period 2016-2018.

In this regards UNDP is seeking to hire an experienced international civil engineering consultant to conduct independent and professional periodic monitoring and checks of the quality, cost-efficiency and timeliness of the construction works starting with contracting of the design company and ending with commissioning of the BCP Palanca to the beneficiaries.
