On the 04.03.2016 Femern A/S announced that the Danish political parties behind the Fehmarnbelt link mandated Femern A/S are to choose the preferred bidders for the main tunnel contracts with the aim of entering conditional contracts no later than mid-May 2016. Conditional contracts mean that final and binding contracts will be signed with the successful contractors, but that construction work will be postponed until the German construction permit is in place. The contracts are valid until the end of 2019 with the option to renegotiate at that time.
Once the final conditions for conditional contracts are settled satisfactorily between Femern A/S and the winning contractors, the company will present the results to the Minister of Transport before the contracts are signed in May 2016.
