Turkey celebrates a monumental achievement as the vehicle inspection services concession shifts to a new operator. The bid, previously managed by TÜVTÜRK through 2027, has been claimed by the MOI Consortium, comprising Opus and Met-Gün Group, for 2027-2047. Valued at a whopping $1.72 billion, this tender marks one of Turkey's most significant financial infusions in the last 20 years.

📢 MOI Consortium: A Winning Partnership

Turkey's Privatization Administration initiated the tender to privatize vehicle inspection, selecting the MOI Consortium for the next 20 years. Key members include Opus, Met-Gün İnşaat, Itversia Gestion S.L., and VTV Norte SA, showcasing vast global experience in vehicle inspections. This tender signifies a notable gain for the Treasury, with an additional $1.19 billion compared to the previous 2007 agreement, split into two phases at $830 million and $890 million.
