The Opus and Met-Gun Group Consortium Wins the Vehicle Inspection Stations Tender!

Turkey's financial landscape has been reshaped with the award of its vehicle inspection services to a fresh operator. Formerly overseen by TÜVTÜRK until 2027, the MOI Consortium, featuring international powerhouse Opus and Met-Gün Group, secured the contract for the 2027-2047 timeframe. This landmark tender, valued at $1.72 billion, stands as one of Turkey's major financial inflows over the last twenty years.

📢 Unveiling the Winning Consortium and Tender Details

The chosen consortium, MOI, includes influential players such as Opus, Met-Gün İnşaat, Itversia Gestion S.L., and VTV Norte SA, presenting a robust multinational partnership in vehicle inspection expertise. The outcome signifies a substantial gain for Turkey’s Treasury, with an additional inflow of $1.19 billion compared to the prior 2007 contract, initially finalized at $830 million and $890 million.
