Key procurement sectors
Slovenia procurement landscape
DARS operates at the intersection of EU-funded infrastructure investment and advanced transport technology deployment. Many of its civil works packages are co-financed by EU Cohesion and Connecting Europe Facility funds, embedding EU procurement rules and contractor-origin eligibility requirements. Major current and planned works include third-lane expansion on high-traffic motorway sections and rehabilitation of the Karavanke tunnel on the Austria-Slovenia border, one of Central Europe's most important transit routes. These packages are structured under FIDIC contract conditions, which are standard for EU-financed infrastructure in the region. DARS's transition from manual to free-flow electronic tolling has generated a distinct category of technology procurement — gantry structures, ANPR camera systems, transaction processing platforms, and roadside ITS equipment — that recurs as the network is retrofitted. EU procurement directives apply in full, meaning above-threshold contracts are published on TED with open international competition. Maintenance and emergency-repair contracts provide a lower-value but continuous procurement stream across the full motorway length. Slovenia's EU membership and its use of standard international contract formats make DARS one of the more accessible infrastructure procurement environments in southeastern Europe for international contractors and technology suppliers.
Bidding on Slovenia tenders.
Tenders follow EU public procurement procedures (Directives 2014/24/EU and 2014/25/EU as applicable). Above-threshold contracts are published on TED and the national portal. FIDIC conditions are standard for civil works. Prequalification is required for major civil packages. EU rules apply to contractor eligibility. ITS and tolling technology tenders require demonstrated experience with comparable deployments.

🇸🇮 Slovenia →DARS Motorway Company — FAQ.
What is the Karavanke tunnel project? +
The Karavanke tunnel carries the A2 motorway under the Alps on the Austria-Slovenia border and is one of Central Europe's most heavily used border crossings. DARS is undertaking significant renovation and capacity works on the tunnel, generating major civil and mechanical engineering contract volume.
What are FIDIC contracts and why does DARS use them? +
FIDIC contracts are internationally standardized construction contract conditions published by the International Federation of Consulting Engineers. They are widely used for EU-financed infrastructure projects across Europe. DARS uses FIDIC Yellow Book (design-build) and Red Book (construction) conditions on major works packages.
What is free-flow tolling and what technology does it require? +
Free-flow tolling eliminates toll plazas by reading vehicle transponders and license plates on overhead gantry structures at highway speed. It requires ANPR camera systems, RSU communication units, gantry structures, back-office processing platforms, and customer account management systems — all of which DARS procures competitively.
Are EU funds used in DARS projects? +
Yes. Many DARS capital works are co-financed by EU Cohesion Fund and Connecting Europe Facility grants, which requires compliance with EU procurement rules and limits contractor eligibility to EU and EEA member-country firms, subject to the applicable procurement thresholds.
Does DARS publish tenders in English? +
Above-threshold tenders are published in the EU TED database with notices in English (as a mandatory EU language). However, the full tender documentation is issued in Slovenian. International bidders need professional translation for document review.
What maintenance contracts does DARS regularly tender? +
Winter maintenance (gritting, snow removal), routine road maintenance (patching, markings), and tunnel technical services (ventilation, lighting, safety systems) are recurring DARS maintenance categories. These are typically multi-year framework agreements covering defined motorway sections.
