One of the tenders (04\/2011) is for the purchase of a variety of raw ethanol named \u201cphlegm\u201d (a type of fermentation process). The first batch, of 15,000 Hl (1.5 million litres) should be delivered at once. The other batch, of 30,000 Hl, will be delivered in two instances.<\/p>\n

The envelopes containing the bids must arrive in Tunis by 05:00 pm next Thursday (2nd).<\/p>\n
According to the Tunisian government, the winner will be selected based on the analysis of technical criteria and the prices presented by the bidders. According to the tender notice, \u201cthe winning company will be the one that offers the best technical explanation about its product and the best financial advantages based on the sum of tariffs and rights.<\/p>\n
