Overview

• Cadena SER reports that Limak scored last in a late‑2022 technical evaluation but was later raised by the club’s Oficina Tècnica to a winning mark, overtaking Ferrovial and FCC.
• The investigation adds that tender rules set in 2017 were revised in 2021 in ways that allowed Limak to compete despite lacking earlier experience and references required under the original terms.
• Club officials say the unfavorable report was only one of several considered and cite Goldman Sachs’s involvement in validating the award, while defending Limak’s proposed schedule as feasible at the time.
• Barcelona says it has filed documentation to secure a phase 1A license for a 27,000‑seat partial reopening and has released new progress images, yet it prefers to return at 45,000 capacity with phase 1B.
• The contract includes daily delay penalties that the club says it will seek only if lateness is attributable to Limak, as scrutiny grows following the resignation of Espai Barça director Jordi Llauradó and criticism from opposition groups.
