NRA PPP Roads Programme - N6 Galway to Ballinasloe Dual Carriageway - Notice Regarding Tendering Outcome
21st July 2006
The National Roads Authority, having carefully considered the proposals received from the four shortlisted Tenderers, has identified the ICON consortium, comprising FCC Construction S.A., ITINERE INFRAESTRUCTURAS, and PJ Hegarty, as the Tenderer with the most economically advantageous Tender. The second placed Tenderer is the Hibernia Roads consortium comprising Acciona S.A., MOTA – ENGIL SGPS S.A., MOTA – ENGIL ENGENHERIA, McNamara, BANCO Espirito SANTO S.A., and Coffey Construction Ltd.
The Authority will now proceed with discussions with ICON with a view to appointing it as the Provisional Preferred Tenderer. If such discussions prove successful and ICON are appointed Provisional Preferred Tender, that will potentially lead to an award of the Contract for the Project in early 2007. However, if such discussions terminate, the Authority has the right to revert to Best And Final Offer stage with both ICON and the Hibernia Roads consortium.
The other unsuccessful Tenderers were Eurolink, comprising Cintra Concessiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte S.A., and SIAC Construction Ltd., and Celtic Roads Group, comprising Dragados Concessiones de Infraestructuras S.A, Dragados S.A, NTR plc, and BAM PPP bv..
