Colombia's national infrastructure agency ANI has published the definitive bidding rules for the concession tender of three airports in the south-western region.

The project will require a total US$107 million in investments and includes works at El Edén airport in Armenia, Benito Salas in Neiva and Guillermo León Valencia in Popayán.

Areas of focus will include expansion and improvement of the passenger terminals, repair and expansion of the landing strips, building cargo terminals, purchase of surrounding land, renovating fire extinguishing equipment, and supplying security and luggage handling equipment.

The concession process is the second that ANI has tendered for the same group of airports. When the first process closed at end-November, ANI received no offers. The new tender process was adjusted to make the project more attractive, including lowering the amount of land to be purchased and specifying the requirements for fire engines.

Bids for the concession of the three airports are due by 10 April and the contract is slated to be awarded on 22 May.
