Construction company HENT has secured a contract for the construction of a new passenger terminal and additional operational facilities at the upcoming Bodø Airport in Norway.
The company is said to have outperformed the other two competitors in the project bid evaluation, securing the top spot.
Commissioned by Avinor, the Nkr2.4bn ($227.93m) contract is in turnkey partnering form and is based on the Norwegian ‘samspillsentreprise’ model.
HENT CEO Jan Jahren said: “The entire bid process was long and thorough. We used the full breadth of the company’s expertise, together with several external partners.
“The teamwork behind our responses to the award criteria, including price, understanding of the task and project organisation, meant that we won out over the competition. This is important recognition for all of HENT and our partners.”
HENT, which is a part of Ratos, and Avinor will collaborate on refining the project's specifics to reach a consensus on the final design and cost.
The new Bodø Airport is scheduled to be operational between 2029 and 2030, with the entire project budget valued at Nkr7.2bn.
Ratos Business Area Construction & Services president Johansson Gebauer said: “That Avinor has entrusted HENT to help with one of society’s most important buildings is further proof of the strong position that HENT has in an otherwise challenging construction market.
“Ratos’ construction operations primarily focus on public sector customers and properties that are important for society. Our order books are strong and we are optimistic about the future.”
In 2022, Freyr Battery signed an agreement with HENT for the development of its 120,000m² battery factory in Mo i Rana, Norway.
