The Region has approved the multi-year allocation of costs for the design and construction of the Machico Pavilion. The total amount is €4,175,000, plus VAT, with the largest share scheduled for 2029.
The Regional Government has approved the allocation of budget costs for the «MACHICO PAVILION - DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION» procedure, case no. 24/2026, with a total value of €13,175,000, plus VAT at the applicable legal rate.
Ordinance No. 597/2026, signed on 19 October and published on 21 October 2026, allocates the expenditure across four financial years:
The amount allocated for each year may be increased by any balance carried over from the previous year. The 2027 expenditure will be included in the proposed budget of the Autonomous Region of Madeira for that year, while the 2028 and 2029 allocations will be included in the respective budget proposals.
The ordinance was issued by the Regional Secretariats for Finance and for Equipment and Infrastructure and enters into force on the working day following its publication.
Regional funding for the rehabilitation of the Praia Formosa Seafront remains capped at €4,828,876.35, but the costs have been rescheduled through 2029. The change follows the lack of valid bids for the second phase of the works and a revision of the project.
The Regional Government has authorised additional construction supervision and monitoring services for Madeira Central Hospital, at an extra cost of up to €29,620. The service period increases from 105 to 107 months, and the contract’s maximum term rises from 228 to 230 months.
The Region will fund the revitalization of the Machico Forum’s infrastructure and equipment, with a maximum contribution of €1,422,693. The funding will be allocated across 2026, 2027 and 2028 through a programme contract with SMD.
