Spanish Firm Wins Moroccan High-Speed Rail Contract, Outbids French Competitor

A superb coup for Ineco. The Spanish group has won the strategic contract for project management assistance for the ONCF for the extension of the High-Speed Line to Marrakech, offering 1.309 billion dirhams against 1.385 billion dirhams for Egis Rail, a difference of 80 million dirhams, reports Atalayar. Ineco’s mission will be to advise the project owner, the ONCF, on the infrastructure projects of the HSL between Kenitra and Marrakech, for a contract estimated at 1.4 billion dirhams.

The Moroccan National Railway Office (ONCF) had launched a call for tenders in February for this strategic assistance contract for the extension of the high-speed line to Marrakech. The French company Egis Rail, the Spanish company Ineco and Dar Al Handasha were in the running. But Dar Al Handasha was subsequently excluded during the examination of its administrative file.

Recall that Ineco had previously won the call for tenders for the extension of Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca launched by the ONCF. The Spanish group is in charge of the construction of a new runway and its taxiways on the west side of the current terminals, improving the terminal facilities and aircraft parking areas between the new runway and the existing runway.
