"The whole helicopter fleet of the National Police is on the ground, paralyzed in its entirety, that's why we put the fleet in competition to understand that it is the set of aircraft, maintenance equipment, pilots, mechanics and assistants," said this Wednesday the national director of Infrastructure and Equipment of the ministry, Carlos Albino.

In declarations to Lusa, the responsible said he was waiting for a large number of companies in the contest now launched to recover the police helicopter fleet, because even before the contest five companies had already expressed interest.

"It means that there will be a desirable adhesion and, maybe, it will surpass the expectation, now if they will be qualified or not, this we will evaluate later, but at first the expectation is good", he emphasized.

The Ministry of the Interior launched on Monday a limited contest for prior qualification for recovery / rehabilitation of the National Police helicopter fleet, outside the Angolan territory, worth 28.4 billion kwanzas.

In a dispatch signed by the Minister of the Interior, Eugénio Laborinho, the ministerial organ informs that the contest will have six months of execution and that the candidates must have three years of proven activity as "minimum requirements".

The contest, which implies the celebration of a public contract, also determines that the candidates must also have as "minimum requirements a financial report of the last three years of activity".

Carlos Albino, also president of the evaluation committee of this contest, stated that the contest is for national companies with the possibility of associating with foreign companies.

"There may be a consortium between a foreign company, but the priority is for national companies", he stressed.

Among the evaluation requirements, in the proposal to be presented, explained the responsible, are the recovery of helicopters and the respective qualification of pilots and complementary equipment, in the framework of modern updates of the sector.

The police commissioner also recognized the need for these resources in policing actions at the Angolan level and, "besides other patrol missions," he noted, "there are other specifics that in the scope of national police surveillance these aircraft become indispensable.

The Director of Infrastructure and Equipment at the Ministry of the Interior also said that, besides the recovery of helicopters, there are other "specific projects to be implemented," including the recovery of the maritime fleet of the fiscal police.

"And then there are a number of projects that are independent, as long as there is some financial availability, we will work to improve the resources more and more," he assured.

The evaluation committee of this tender for the recovery/rehabilitation of the police helicopter fleet determines until Friday, January 8, 2021, the deadline for receiving requests for the parts of the procedure or for accessing the documents.

The deadline for submission of applications is January 25, 2021.
