This tender, identified as E.cp.119/2024, seeks construction services for a bridge project over the Mondego River in Portugal. This infrastructure development is a crucial component of EuroVelo 1, also known as the Atlantic Coast Route, a long-distance cycling route traversing Europe's western seaboard. The contracting authority, managed by the Publications Office of the European Union, is looking for qualified contractors to undertake the design, construction, and potentially related civil engineering works necessary to complete this vital section of the international cycling network.

Typical requirements for such a project would include adherence to stringent European and national construction standards, environmental impact assessments, traffic management plans during construction, and robust quality assurance protocols. Bidders will likely need to demonstrate significant experience in large-scale civil engineering projects, particularly in bridge construction, and possess the necessary certifications and financial capacity to undertake a project of this magnitude. The successful tenderer will be responsible for delivering a safe, durable, and aesthetically appropriate bridge that integrates seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and facilitates the intended use by cyclists along the EuroVelo 1 route.

This is a works contract in the construction and civil works, transport and logistics and architecture and engineering sectors, with a focus on Bridges and Roads. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 7.5 billion.
