The Tenders Review Authority has rejected an appeal by construction firm AKTOR against the new tender for the completion of the study and construction of phase one of the Paphos–Polis Chrysochous motorway. The decision was issued on November 19, 2025.
According to an announcement by the Legal Service, the Tenders Review Authority examined all eleven grounds for annulment raised in the appeal and, based on the arguments presented before it, decided that each of them failed and should be dismissed, for the reasons set out in its ruling.
On 8 August 2025, the Public Works Department launched an open tender for the “Completion of the study and construction of the Paphos–Polis Chrysochous motorway, Section 1 – Phase (A)”. The need for a new tender arose after the termination of the contract that the Republic had signed with INTRAKAT (later AKTOR), which had been selected as the contractor under a previous tender procedure.
On 18 August 2025, AKTOR filed an appeal with the Tenders Review Authority, seeking, among other things, the annulment of the re-tendering process and the cancellation of specific elements of the tender, or alternatively the amendment or supplementation of its terms.
The case was handled on behalf of the Attorney General of the Republic by Rena Papaeti-Hatzikosta, Attorney of the Republic, Kyriaki Papadopoulou, Lawyer of the Republic, and Maria Kelepesi, Lawyer of the Republic.
