Eurotunnel launches a call for tender

to operate the light vehicles refueling station located near its French terminal

Eurotunnel, the concessionaire of the Channel Tunnel infrastructure until 2086 and operator of the LeShuttle Freight and Passenger services (cars and coaches) between Folkestone (United Kingdom) and Calais (France), is launching a competitive tender for the takeover of the light vehicle refueling station located near the French concession in Coquelles, approximately 5 km from the city center of Calais.

The consultation includes the takeover and operations of the refueling station located in the direct surroundings of LeShuttle's passenger terminal. The consultation does not include the refueling station for heavy goods vehicles, also located on the site. In 2023, LeShuttle1 transported over 8 million passengers, across all customer types.

The tender will be a competitive process starting with the issuance of a call for applications on March 20th, 2024, to which interested parties may apply until April 2nd, 2024. On this date, an application form will be issued to all participants, which must be completed and submitted by April 15th, 2024, at the latest. Eurotunnel plans to close the submission of offers during the month of June 2024, with a new refueling station expected to begin operating at the end of November 2024.

This refueling station offers an opportunity for an experienced operator to manage a strategically positioned establishment near the Eurotunnel terminal on the site of Coquelles, France. This service station serves as a primary stop for millions of travelers using Le Shuttle services. Its prime location allows for a steady flow of customers and commissioning of a retail sales service and a rest area.
