The contract is for the design of electrical and mechanical systems in the tunnel that will link the two countries.
Developer Femern picked the JV from a list of four prequalified bidders, with Mott MacDonald, Arup and Capita Symonds on three of the losing teams. The bidding teams were Mott MacDonald; a Ramboll-Arup-TEC joint venture; Grontmij in a joint venture with Capita Symonds; and Cowi in collaboration with HBI Haerter, M&E Engineering, GBI Gackstatter Beratende Ingenieure, Barbara Consult and HOJ Consulting.
Hansen & Henneberg and Pövry Infra will assist Femern throughout the tender phase and may also assist during the construction period.
