Sorainen has advised Rail Baltic Estonia on the procurement procedure for the construction of the Rail Baltica Ulemiste joint terminal and its surrounding area.

"The goal of this international tender is to find a contractor for the Ulemiste passenger terminal called Linda, its surrounding area, and the railway infrastructure," Sorainen informed. "The estimated cost of the project is approximately EUR 178 million and the terminal is expected to be completed by the end of 2026."

According to Sorainen, the total area of the Ulemiste terminal building and the construction site in its vicinity is approximately 2.4 square kilometers. "The procurement framework also includes the construction of related infrastructure, the relocation of the 1520 millimeter gauge railway, and the construction of a new section."

"Rail Baltica is an environmentally friendly and comfortable railway connection that unites Estonia with its southern neighbors and Middle-European countries," the firm added. "The new infrastructure allows passengers to travel from Tallinn to Parnu in 40 minutes and to Riga in 1 hour 42 minutes."

Sorainen recently advised on a Rail Baltica public procurement dispute before the Procurement Monitoring Bureau of Latvia (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on March 7, 2022).

The Sorainen team included Senior Associates Mario Sorm, Mirjam Vichmann, Kadri Harginen, and Kaspar Endrikson.
