The Montenegrin government is coordinating the schedule for a session of the Tender Commission regarding the concession of Podgorica and Tivat airports, according to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development Nik Đeljošaj, who also chairs the commission.
On September 1, the government’s Concessions Commission partially upheld a complaint from Corporación América Airports S.A. (CAAP) regarding the ranking of bidders in the airport concession process. The original ranking, published on July 17, was returned to address identified irregularities in the scoring and ranking explanations.
Đeljošaj stated that the commission is currently agreeing on a session date, which requires the presence of all members, and that the public will be informed once it is scheduled.
CAAP, a Luxembourg-American company ranked second in the tender, previously requested a suspension of the process pending a ruling from the Administrative Court, arguing that changes in scoring criteria influenced by non-commission parties were illegal. The company contends that the initial evaluation of technical offers on June 5, 2025, should be considered the only lawful and relevant assessment.
The Ministry of Transport confirmed that South Korea’s Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) was ranked first with 96.18 points, while CAAP received 65.15 points. The dispute focuses on transparency, equal treatment, and the legality of the tender process.
