Tender launched for Matecana airport terminal PPP project
Enrique Vásquez Zuleta, the major of Pereira, the capital city of the Colombian Department of Risaralda, has confirmed plans to develop a new terminal at Matecaña airport through a public private partnership (PPP) project.
According to the Mayor of Pereira, one of the reasons to use a PPP model is that the funds approved by the National Government are not enough to carry out the development of the new terminal.
The total project investment is estimated at P$90.66 billion (US$45.7 million). The National Government will provide a total of P$15 billion (US$7.56 million).
The tender process has already been launched and more information can be found on the public procurement system, Secop.
