Call for tenders
A call for tenders has been issued for an ambitious transformational port plan.
The Port Authority of Valencia (Valenciaport) has put out to tender the technical assistance for the preparation of the Valenciaport 2030 strategic plan. The plan incorporates five axes: new business opportunities and technological development; energy transition, decarbonisation and the fight against climate change; digital transformation; innovation; and the Port-City relationship.
Second attempt
The plan was previously put out to tender but was not awarded because no proposal passed the technical level, said Valenciaport.
The 2030 plan will be completed with a longer-term vision up to 2050 and will incorporate a potential mid-term review in 2025.
Tenders must include a joint strategic proposal for Valenciaport and for each of the ports dependent on the port authority – Valencia, Sagunto and Gandia.
The plan will include a new point to be assessed on traffic forecasts, including the evolution of containers, for the three ports managed by the port authority.
This plan will be aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and the Green Pact of the European Union, with the framework of the port system being designed by the state-owned Ports of the State, according to Valenciaport.
The base budget for the tender is €713,565 and the deadline for submitting tenders will end in October.
