The submission and opening of qualification documents for the proposed P14.82-billion San Ramon Newport Project (SRNP) in Zamboanga City has been moved anew to December 5, 2025 from November 20.
With this, the notice of the list of pre-qualified bidders and release of bid documents was also reset to December 22 from December 10, according to the latest bid bulletin by the project’s Pre-Qualification, Bids and Awards Committee dated November 11.
The conduct of pre-bid conference and one-on-ones will also now be in the third to fourth week of January 2026, instead of the second to third weeks of January.
The issuance of the final bid bulletin and final version of the contract will still be in the second week of March 2026.
The deadline for the submission of bid documents will also still be in the second week of April 2026, while the issuance of notice of award remains in the third week of May 2026.
Contract signing is still scheduled for June 2026.
The Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority and Freeport (ZCSEZA) last July announced it was seeking parties to pre-qualify and bid for the design, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the SRNP, envisioned to be the main trade, commerce, and industrial center of the Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX) and the first freeport in Mindanao.
The project will be under the Build-Operate-Transfer scheme, a public-private partnership model, with a 35-year concession period, inclusive of the estimated construction period, which is targeted to start next year. Operation is expected to start by 2030.
“We believe that the San Ramon Newport Project will open its doors for more jobs, more investment opportunities, and strategic development that can reshape the economic landscape of Zamboanga City and its entire community,” ZCSEZA PBAC chairman Reynold Pareja said in a speech during the project’s investors’ conference last August.
With a land area of around 23 hectares in Barangay Talisayan, Zamboanga City, the project includes the construction of an inland berth facility and harbor basin, a container berth and south breakwater cum south berth, continuous roll-on/roll-off ramp and north berth, port back-up areas including a road network, parking, and open areas; buildings and other support facilities, and utilities.
Access to the proposed port will not be an issue, unlike the existing Zamboanga base port, according to Joselito Supangco, the team lead of the project’s transaction advisor, Pacific Rim Innovation and Management Exponents, Inc.
The SRNP site location has direct connection to a national road (Zamboanga West Coastal Road), to be complemented by the Bypass Road Project that will link the east and west coasts of Zamboanga City.
