New clarification added: Regarding the archaeologist license A1, A2, A3 or the licence of implementation of works NZA1, the Ministry of Culture has suspended and slowed down the renewal of licenses for archaeologists. Normally as a process can take up to 45 business days Can we apply with the existing license of our expert and the working contract we have with our experts?IF its not possible, is the application made at the ministry valid or not?Considering many of the questions relating to validity and types of the licences, please bear in mind that this is a process which helps UNOPS to screen the market and understand the number and capacity of conservation companies. This by no means entails that shortlisted companies would form an exclusive list. Any company in any given time in lieu with published procurement can apply if it fulfills required conditions. Therefore, even if your entity or employed individuals are in a process of obtaining the licence, please submit the Expression of Interest. However and once the upcoming tenders are published the licences need to be in place as required by Albanian legislation..
