PROJECT VALUE:
Service Contract: Contract amount: EUR 586,305.00 Works Contract – LOT 2: (According to the Addendum No: 04) Contract price excluding provisional sum and VAT/other Taxes: EUR 3,742,889.81€ Provisional Sums/Contingencies: EUR 1,521,179.76 Total Contract price including provisional sum: EUR 5,264,069.57
OVERALL OBJECTIVE:
To improve the quality of Education infrastructure in Kosovo at primary and lower secondary level, with special emphasis on inclusion of children belonging to minority communities and overcrowded classrooms.
PROJECT PURPOSES:
Construction of the school started on 1st March 2022, with an originally planned duration of 15 months and a budget of EUR 4,250,935.19. However, unforeseen events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, have significantly disrupted the project’s implementation, leading to delays and increased costs. As a result, the total value of the works contract has risen to EUR 5,264,069.57 to accommodate higher construction expenses. The new school is now expected to be completed by March 2025 instead of the initially planned 2023. School Design and Educational Structure The newly designed school in Prizren falls under the "basic education" category and consists of three educational levels: pre-primary, primary, and lower secondary. It will accommodate 900 students. In the Kosovo education system, these levels are structured as follows: • Level 0: Pre-primary education – Designed for children aged 5 to 6 years, lasting one year. • Level 1: Primary education – The first stage of compulsory education, lasting five years for students aged 6 to 12. • Level 2: Lower secondary education – The second stage of compulsory education, lasting four years for students aged 12 to 15. Since Kosovo’s education system requires 10 years of compulsory education, a school based on the basic education model must be equipped to provide education from kindergarten through lower secondary school. The goal is to ensure that students complete all stages of compulsory education within the same school environment. School Design Specifications According to the Design Guidelines for School Facilities – Norms and Standards (Volume 1), the school in Prizren is planned with: • 3 educational cycles • 30 classrooms in total • 30 students per classroom • A total capacity of 900 students This design aims to provide a modern, well-equipped learning environment that meets the required educational standards. Service Contract: - Providing supervision and contract management services as the Supervisor, for the Works Contracts to be executed under PRAG conditions and rules, in terms of quality, time and cost. Works Contract: - Proper implementation of the school building in Prizren as defined in the contractual documents.
