Concession bid comparison

Click a proposal to inspect its cash flows. Conditional offers and bids with open critical gates are never ranked as award-ready.

Cumulative discounted concession cash flow

Pre-tax, unlevered operator cash flow. Year zero includes bid premium and upfront construction CAPEX. Follow the payback path, not just headline throughput.

Throughput versus concession guarantees

Forecast cargo handled is capped by terminal capacity. Minimum guarantee can create a payment even when the forecast cargo never arrives.

Annual owner cash and concession-payment bridge

Selected year: earned terminal revenue, operating expenditure, fixed rent, royalties, minimum-volume charges, investment and free cash flow.

Demand versus tariff-realization sensitivity

25 stress tests on the selected bid's investment NPV. A selected stress cell previews the case without changing your tender inputs.

Capital program and annual financial forecast

All-year capital spending, commercial throughput and annual operator cash are auditable in the registers and exports.

Bid qualification & concession review

Advanced concession tender registers

Six independent, editable registers. Only cleared capital projects and documented adjustments enter the financial case. Scroll wide registers using the synchronized top or bottom bar.

Model boundary: Illustrative pre-tax, unlevered commercial screen; excludes debt financing, taxes, FX, legal enforceability, and contingent termination compensation. A royalty floor and a shortfall-damages provision are alternative entered contract structures, not assumed cumulative charges. Throughput, pricing rights, tariff caps, mandatory investments, revenue sharing and grant availability require document review.
