The Bucharest Court of Appeal definitively rejected the revision request from the Itinera – Saipem consortium regarding the reevaluation of their bid for the A8 highway segment. This decision concludes the legal actions taken by the consortium against the reevaluation ruling. The court had previously accepted challenges from Romanian constructors, mandating the National Company for Road Investments (CNIR) to reassess the Italian consortium's offer. The reevaluation must occur within 20 days of receiving the court's initial decision. The contract, valued at 3.57 billion lei, is crucial for connecting Romania with Moldova and is funded by the European SAFE program, which has a deadline of December 31, 2026. The ongoing legal disputes could jeopardize timely completion of the project.
