FOUR TOP BIDDERS FOR ESSALUD'S HOSPITAL TENDERS IN PIURA AND CHIMBOTE

PROINVERSIÓN informs that after a rigorous evaluation process, four bidders from the Americas and Europe pre-qualified to compete in the international tender for the concession of two ESSALUD hospital projects in the cities of Piura and Chimbote (Ancash) under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) co-financed modality.

These are three companies and one consortium, with global operations, that obtained the condition of bidders after accrediting technical experience in construction, experience in hospital operation and financial solvency, as established in the Bidding Terms and Conditions. In this respect, their participation demonstrates the confidence of private companies to develop long-term investments in Peru, through projects promoted by PROINVERSIÓN.

The projects include the design, financing, construction, equipment, operation and maintenance of two specialized hospitals in Piura and Chimbote, and the provision of complementary services (non-medical), which will serve the insured population of the departments of Ancash, Piura and Tumbes, benefiting more than 1.6 million users.

The execution of the EsSalud’s Hospital of Piura and Chimbote projects requires a combined investment of more than S/. 1,000 million over the concession period (20 years). The successful bid is expected to be awarded in the First Half of 2023. 

The prequalified bidders for both the EsSalud’s Hospital of Piura and Chimbote have developed projects in North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania:
