GIDNA Wins Construction Contracts for Casablanca's RER Stations
The National Office of Railways (ONCF) is making significant progress on the future RER (Réseau Express Régional) network in Casablanca by awarding construction contracts for nine new stations to GIDNA SARL. These contracts are divided into two distinct lots: the first, valued at 214.52 million dirhams excluding taxes, encompasses the stations of Mohammedia Facultés, Zenata Industrielle, Sidi Bernoussi, and Aïn Sebaâ. The second lot, awarded for 256.2 million dirhams excluding taxes, includes the stations of Hay Mohammedia, Mers Sultan, Casa Oasis, Sidi Maârouf, and Nouaceur Nouvelle Ville. In total, the combined value of these contracts amounts to approximately 470.72 million dirhams, marking a significant investment in urban mobility infrastructure.
The bidding process initially estimated the costs at 180 million dirhams for the first lot and 220 million dirhams for the second. Two companies submitted their bids: Urbagec SARL for the first lot and GIDNA SARL for both lots. Following a thorough review of the administrative, technical, and financial documents, ONCF selected GIDNA based on the most compliant offer with the least deviation.
Founded in 2006, GIDNA, which stands for Global Infrastructure Development North Africa, is a Moroccan construction firm that operates as a limited liability company (SARL) with a capital of 25 million dirhams. The company is involved in various construction activities, including structural work, civil engineering, and metal frameworks.
