The company Transportes, Inversiones, Inmobiliaria y Servicios Transanber, which caused the tender of the transport system Transantiago to be suspended, went before Chile’s Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition (TDLC) to stake its claim against the Ministry of Transport over this failed process.
Transanber accuses the Ministry of Transport of having benefited current operators and placing barriers for companies interested in joining the system in the bidding rules. For now, the Ministry of Transport has suspended, temporarily, the bidding process in which six companies had taken part.
The company’s lawyer, Jorge Ibarra, said that the logical thing is to carry out a new bidding process. For his part, the president of Transanber, Luis Vargas, said they will wait for the next administration, when Gloria Hutt is in charge of the Ministry of Transport, to carry out this tender.
