IMPREGILO/ARUP/SERCO Selected as Preferred Bidder

As advised in our press release of 16th September 2008, revised bids for the Operations Phase (PHASE II) of the airport project that we requested have been received from Basil Read and Impregilo.

The revised bids, along with the bids for the design and construction (Phase I), from both companies have now been fully evaluated by Atkins.

The two tenders were evaluated against the three categories published in the 2007 Invitation to Tender, being:

a)    Technical Knowledge and Skill;
b)    Price and Completion Date
c)    Financial and Commercial Requirements

Atkins concluded that the tender submitted by Impregilo SpA offered the best overall value for St Helena, and we have therefore selected Impregilo S.p.A. of Milan, Italy as the Preferred Bidder.

SHG/DFID have now invited Impregilo to enter into final negotiations to close out any outstanding issues.  Final approval of the contract remains subject to Ministerial and Executive Council approval.

SHG/DFID have extended thanks to Basil Read for their efforts in responding to this tender process and for their full cooperation throughout.

We will keep you updated on progress.
