The Lusolav consortium, led by Mota-Engil, submitted this Tuesday a contestation to the preliminary report of the jury for the tender for the second section of the Lisbon-Porto high-speed line. The contestation questions the jury's decision that proposed the exclusion of the consortium's proposal and the award to the Sacyr competitor.
The Lusolav consortium argues that its proposal should be evaluated and that Sacyr's proposal should be excluded from the tender. This is the appeal phase within the public procurement process, where competitors may challenge the jury's decisions.
The tender in question concerns the second section of the Lisbon-Porto high-speed line, specifically the Oiã-Soure section. This project is part of the high-speed railway infrastructure that will connect Portugal's two largest cities.
The jury's preliminary report proposed the exclusion of Lusolav and the award to the Sacyr competitor, a decision that the consortium led by Mota-Engil intends to formally contest through this challenge.
