  "account": "Spanish construction firms Sacyr and CAF are competing to bid for the massive $4 billion Metro Bogotá contract in Colombia. The two Spanish partners are presenting their offer jointly to build and operate the city's metro line, a project with an investment budget of €4 billion. This bid comes without the support of Acciona, their former partner who withdrew from the project at the beginning of the year, a move that led Colombia to declare the international multimillion-dollar contest as abandoned.\n\nSacyr and CAF will face competition from a consortium of Portuguese firm Mota Engil allied with Spie Batignolles Génie Civil, as well as a Chinese entity, Xi'nan Rail Transportation Group, which is prominent in Colombia through its state-owned corporation. Acciona's decision to exit the consortium in the last minute left Colombia without a bid for the second line of Bogotá's Metro, prompting the government to declare the entire contest null and void.\n\nThe company, led by Manuel Manrique, considers Colombia one of its three major growth platforms, along with Chile and Italy. Sacyr has become the largest promoter of road concessions in the country, while CAF is a preferred supplier of trains, including for Medellín's Metro.",
