A consortium led by Vinci Construction in association with Fayat Group has won a 30-year PPP contract to design, finance, build, operate and maintain a new 40,000 capacity stadium in Bordeaux, to be built for Uefa Euro 2016.

The consortium, known as Stade Bordeaux Atlantique, will construct the stadium in time for the tournament, which will be staged in France. Reports suggest that the contract is worth approximately US$238 million. The stadium, which is set to be handed over in 2015, will be capable of playing host to both soccer and rugby matches as well as major concerts and other events.

The consortium includes Vinci Construction France, via its subsidiaries GTM Bâtiment Aquitaine-Limousin and Faure Silva, the Fayat Group, architectural firm Herzog and de Meuron, Groupe 6 and teams from Stadia Consulting Group. Vinci Facilities will handle the maintenance of the stadium. Landscape architect Michel Desvigne, winner of the 2011 Grand Prix de l’Urbanisme award will be charged with ensuring that the stadium, which is to be situated on ‘greenbelt’ land, is suitable for the surrounding environment.

Vinci will add the Bordeaux stadium to a property portfolio which already includes the Stade de France, the MMArena stadium in Le Mans and the future Nice Stadium, which is due to be handed over in 2013.
