Turkey has reached a substantial milestone by assigning its vehicle inspection services to a new operator. The MOI Consortium, which includes industry leaders Opus and Met-Gün Group, has secured the contract for the 2027-2047 period. This contract, priced at $1.72 billion, marks a significant financial inflow for Turkey, highlighting one of the most considerable economic boosts in the last two decades.
📢 Understanding the Tender Process and Its Riviera
The Turkish Privatization Administration initiated a tender process aiming to privatize vehicle inspection services for the next 20 years. The winning consortium, MOI, is an alliance composed of Opus, Met-Gün İnşaat, Itversia Gestion S.L., and VTV Norte SA. This team represents a robust collaboration, given their vast global experience in vehicle inspections. The successful tender deal ensures the Treasury receives $1.19 billion more compared to the previous contract concluded in 2007. That agreement comprised two phases with amounts of $830 million and $890 million each.
🌍 Competitive Bidding and Strategic Decisions
A Heated Contest: National and International Participants
