en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazil will hold at least six auctions in the infrastructure sector throughout June, generating 15.6 billion reais ($3.1 billion) in investments. Despite the highly polarized political landscape ahead of the October elections for president, governors, federal deputies, and senators, Marcus Cavalcanti, Special Secretary of the Federal Government's Investment Partnership Program (PPI), stated that Brazil's concession and public-private partnership (PPP) model is already very mature. Investors have shown strong confidence in the country's regulatory maturity, so auctions are progressing rapidly.
The auctions scheduled for June are linked to a series of state government projects, with the largest amounts expected to be concentrated in contracts for highways and sanitation. In the highway sector, the government of Rio Grande do Sul will auction the concession for the so-called "Second Block" on June 10, with a contract expected to involve investments of 6 billion reais. Major works include 182 kilometers of duplication and 71.5 kilometers of a third lane. The project receives 1.5 billion reais in funding from the Rio Grande do Sul State Planning Fund (Funrigs), aiming to resiliently rebuild the roads to better prepare them for future events and to have an impact on toll moderation.
In the sanitation sector, the municipality of Andradas in Minas Gerais will auction a 30-year (renewable for five years) sanitation service concession contract on June 16, stipulating investments of approximately 210 million reais. The state-owned company Cagece of Ceará will offer a PPP contract on June 30, with expected investments of 7 billion reais. The contract will be divided into five blocks with a 28-year term, covering sanitation services in the 128 municipalities currently operated by Cagece.
Other sectors will also see auctions for PPP and concession contracts. The government of São Paulo state will auction the operating concession contract for the Campos do Jordão Railway on June 12. The project is expected to generate 315 million reais in investments for the modernization and maintenance of the railway, including stations, historic trains, and other tourist operation support structures, with a concession term of 24 years. The same state government will also offer a PPP contract related to vehicle removal and storage services on June 25. This contract establishes a new management model for vehicle yards, focusing on operational efficiency, technological innovation, process standardization, and the integration of environmental and governance practices, with expected investments of 657.4 million reais over a 24-year term. In the social infrastructure sector, the government of Rio Grande do Sul plans to auction a school PPP contract on June 26, with total investments of 1.4 billion reais. The contract is divided into three lots, funding facility improvements for 98 schools, benefiting approximately 60,500 students.
