Mexico’s Federal Competition Commission on Friday warned some aspects of a new tender to build a high-speed train system would hinder fair competition.
Late last year, China Railway Construction Corp and a group of Mexican partners won the tender to build the $3.75-billion rail line, but the contract was revoked and one of CRCC’s Mexican partners sparked a conflict-of-interest scandal.
Last week, authorities revealed fresh preliminary bid terms for the train project linking Mexico City with Queretaro. The competition commission criticized specific technical and economic requirements in the new tender, particularly the lack of time new companies would have to prepare federal proposals to obtain a bid.
Last week, companies were given six months to prepare their bids, but the commission said that countdown should only begin once all parties have had access to all the information needed to make a bid.
