Batllia accepts Viatges Soldevila lawsuit over exclusion from school-bus tender
The Andorran court will hear Viatges Soldevila’s challenge after the government barred the firm from school transport and airport shuttle contracts,.
Key Points
- Batllia accepted a lawsuit after the government barred Soldevila from school-bus and airport-shuttle tenders.
- Government links exclusion to a two-year contracting ban on parent company Hife for Autocars Andorra abandoning a service.
- Soldevila argues it is operationally separate from Hife and received no explanation for the exclusion.
- Legal observers say the administration’s position may be defensible; dispute focuses on fairness of applying the parent’s sanction.
The Batllia has accepted for processing a lawsuit filed by Viatges Soldevila against the Andorran Government after the administration barred the family-run company from participating in the recent school bus tender and the airport shuttle contract.
Viatges Soldevila says any breaches by its current parent company, Hife, should not affect it because it operates entirely separately and “has not committed any infringement.” The company says it received a notification just before the school transport tender opened telling it it could not participate, but the notice did not explain the reason.
