As indicated in the UIA Guidance, we recommend urban authorities to select their Delivery Partners through fair and transparent procedures which does not mean through public procurement. However this is only a recommendation and it shall therefore not be seen as a mandatory procedure in the framework of the UIA initiative unless formally required by your national legislation. In case it is not a formally required by your national legislation, it is up to the Main Urban Authority to decide if, when and for how long such public call for Interest should be open.
