Overview
- The report delivered to Judge Ismael Moreno examines five Adif and six Directorate General of Roads tenders from the period when José Luis Ábalos was minister.
- In three Adif awards to Acciona, some in a joint venture with Ferrovial, contract prices were raised by roughly 20% before execution, which the IGAE says breached modification rules.
- The audit states that decisive scoring relied on subjective “juicios de valor,” making it unlikely that lower-priced offers could overturn the ranking based on price alone.
- For Murcia’s Barriomar–Nonduermas works, the IGAE says a modification should have been rejected and the contract resolved as the price rose to €190.1 million before VAT, and a related Murcia station job was improperly split off to stay under the 20% cap.
- Similar objections are raised for Sant Feliu and the Pulpí–Vera stretch of the Murcia–Almería high-speed line, and the IGAE also questions emergency or independent processing in projects such as Monforte–Lugo and contracts involving ASCH and LIC.
