The General Secretariat for Infrastructure (GDDE) of Greece has launched a tender seeking financial consultants to assist the Directorate of Transport Infrastructure in tendering:

• A concession to design, construct, finance, operate, maintain and exploit the Chania-Heraklion section of the Northern Road Axis of Crete (140km)
• A public-private partnership (PPP) to design, construct, finance, operate and maintain the Hersonissos-Neapolis section of the Northern Road Axis (26km)

GDDE issued Requests for Expressions of Interest (RFEOI) for both projects in June this year. The Northern Road Axis is a planned 200km highway that will run along the north coast of Crete, the largest of the Greek islands. It will link four major port cities and two airports.

The length of the assignment is 30 months, with the possibility of extension. The submission deadline is 21 November 2018. For more information, see the Business Opportunity.
