Sofia to Save Over 81 Million Euros on New Cleaning Contract

Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, is set to achieve significant cost savings with a new contract for cleaning services covering the 'Slatina,' 'Poduyane,' and 'Izgrev' districts. Mayor Vasil Terziev announced on Facebook that the city anticipates saving more than 81 million euros as a result of this new agreement.

The contract has been awarded to 'Chista Sofia,' a company formed as a consortium that includes a Turkish partner. This new arrangement is expected to streamline waste management and street cleaning operations across the specified districts, leading to the substantial financial benefits highlighted by the mayor.

The announcement of these savings underscores the city's efforts to optimize public spending while maintaining essential services. The exact details of how the savings will be achieved were not immediately available, but the scale of the projected financial benefit suggests a significant overhaul or renegotiation of previous service agreements.
