The Regional Government of Madeira has modified and redistributed the budgetary burdens related to the public road transport service concession in Funchal.
Through Ordinance no. 304/2026, published in the Official Journal supplement on July 12, 2026, the Regional Government of Madeira formalized the redistribution and amendment of the budgetary burdens provided for the public road passenger transport concession contract in the Municipality of Funchal.
The contract, signed with the company Horários do Funchal, Transportes Públicos, S.A., has a maximum estimated total value of 124,050,775.71 euros. The measure aims to adjust the financial scaling of the costs over the fiscal years, according to the following plan:
The decree establishes that the amount set for each year may be increased by the balance found in the previous year. The funds for 2026 are secured by the budget of the Institute for Mobility and Transport, IP-RAM, while the costs for the period from 2027 to 2029 will be included in the respective annual budgets.
AFAVIAS - ENGENHARIA E CONSTRUÇÕES S.A. has won the contract to stabilise the Longueira slope on the ER110. The works are scheduled to take 180 days, and the contract price is subject to VAT at the applicable rate.
The Regional Government has extended until 31 May 2027 the transitional rules allowing certain ships to berth at the north and south quays of Caniçal Port. The measure will be reviewed when the technical studies are complete, or earlier if the necessary conditions are met.
A new order revises the annual allocation of costs under the contract to supervise and coordinate construction of Madeira Central Hospital, keeping the total at €13,206,950.41. Payments are scheduled from 2020 to 2040, plus VAT at the applicable rate.
