Turkey is experiencing a transformative turn with the award of vehicle inspection services to a fresh operator. This newly secured contract, snatched by the MOI Consortium composed of global heavyweight Opus and Turkey's Met-Gün Group, is set for the 2027-2047 period. Worth $1.72 billion, this landmark tender embodies one of the most substantial financial boosts Turkey has received in the last twenty years.
📢 Consortium Triumphs in an Intense Tender Process
Initiated by Turkey's Privatization Administration, this tender aimed to allocate vehicle inspection oversight for the coming two decades. The MOI Consortium, including influential players like Opus, Met-Gün İnşaat, Itversia Gestion S.L., and VTV Norte SA, stands out with profound expertise in vehicle inspection worldwide. This success denotes a remarkable gain for the Treasury, surpassing the previous agreement's value by $1.19 billion, compared to the former deal struck in stages for $830 million and $890 million, respectively.
🌍 Intense Rivalry and Decisive Outcomes
A Competitive Arena with Global Participation
The bidding process witnessed intense rivalry from domestic and international consortia, featuring notable entities from Germany, the UK, and the US. Doğuş Group, a former partner with TÜV SÜD, adopted an alternative approach by joining different consortia. However, after Doğuş Tem Group's withdrawal, the rivalry narrowed down to AGTT Consortium and MOI, the latter ultimately seizing victory in both designated regions.
