April the 24th, 2022 - The Croatian coral centre in Zlarin close to Sibenik should finally be completed by the end of this year, sources claim.
As Morski writes, a contract on the public procurement of a permanent exhibition for the Croatian Coral Centre in Zlarin has now been signed. The value of the contract stands at 2.9 million kuna without VAT, and the deadline for the execution of the contract is seven months.
The process of purchasing a permanent exhibition was launched back in August last year, and it included the designing of the said permanent exhibition, preparing all of the necessary documentation required for the implementation of the exhibition, as well as the supply, transport and installation of all of the designed content and educating users to work with the system.
In addition to representatives of the City of Sibenik, experts in the field of architecture, coral protection and museology participated in the review and evaluation of all of the bids.
The selection criterion for the upcoming Croatian coral centre in Zlarin was the most economically advantageous bid, with the bid price being assessed as the financial criterion (40%) and the non-financial quality criterion as the non-financial criterion (60%).
''The procurement took a relatively long time because, as is most often the case with and in Sibenik, we decided to take a more difficult path in order to get the best possible solution. We hope that this exhibition will fulfill its purpose, because the revival of the Croatian coral centre depends on the visitor dimension and the impressions of guests.
It's an exhibition for visitors in which the protection of nature is generally emphasised, without ignoring, but rather respecting and valorising the rich history of Zlarin, its cultural heritage and numerous artists from Zlarin, such as Vesna Parun, or those who are connected with this island,'' said Petar Misura, the head of the Administrative Department for Economy, Entrepreneurship and Development of the City of Sibenik.
According to Ivana Katuric, the director of the selected Split company (Urbanex), the innovative permanent exhibition of the Croatian Coral Centre in Zlarin will be at a high European level.
