The supplier or contractor for the implementation of the University Clinic project in Podgorica would have to be based in France, have an annual turnover of at least 500 million euros, at least 20 years of international experience, as well as a currently active hospital project in the European Union, with at least 400 beds and a gross area of 50.000 square meters.

It must also have access to a bank guarantee line that allows the issuance of performance bonds and advance payments totaling at least 30 percent of the contract value, or over 100 million euros.
