The São Paulo government received two bids for the auction of its new administrative center, with a PPP model projected to require approximately R$ 6 billion in investments.
The administration under Tarcísio de Freitas has engaged in the process of auctioning the new administrative center for the Government of São Paulo, having received two proposals from competing consortia. The bidding process, which concluded on Monday morning, involves the consortia Acciona-Construcap and MEZ-RZK Novo Centro, as reported by two sources privy to the bidding. The auction is set to take place on Thursday at B3, São Paulo's stock exchange.
This project operates under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, illustrating the government's move to involve private companies in substantial government initiatives. The projected investment for the project is around R$ 6 billion, which reflects a significant commitment to infrastructure development. The selected consortium will be tasked with not only the construction and renovation of the buildings but also the ongoing management and maintenance of the associated sites and infrastructure.
Among the key players, the MEZ-RZK Novo Centro consortium, led by Zetta Engenharia, includes other important companies such as M4 Investimentos and Engemat. The involvement of such firms indicates a competitive environment for bidding on public infrastructure projects, which may enhance service delivery and operational efficiency. As the auction approaches, the implications for São Paulo's governance and infrastructure are significant, potentially reshaping the administrative capabilities of the government and impacting its interactions with private sector partners.
