New tenders for concessions in Bilbao


A new opportunity on the Iberian Peninsula is on the horizon. The Port Authority of Bilbao has decided to call for tenders for the construction and operation of a container terminal on the Central Quay Santurtzi.

 

The Central Quay is the last large area of the port of Bilbao for which a concession can be awarded. In this respect, works are being taken forward in two phases.

 

The first, already completed, has produced an operational surface area of more than 30 hectares, with almost 233,000 sqm currently available, after part of it was awarded by concession to a conventional goods operator. The construction of the second phase will begin in 2023 and will also have an operational surface area in excess of 30 hectares.

 

The concession will be awarded for a maximum of 40 years. The minimum annual traffic permitted is set at 1 teu/sqm of concession plot, so the proposal must meet or exceed this figure.

 

The tender criteria are based on three main aspects, which will be assessed according to the contents of the technical and economic proposals submitted by the bidders: revenue for the Port Authority of Bilbao, traffic generated and programmed investments.

 

The final decision on the tender will be taken on the basis of the proposal that obtains the highest score against the tender criteria, provided that it achieves a minimum score of 25 points in relation to the evaluation criteria of the technical proposal and 50 points in the total score. (sh)
