The Government of São Paulo, through the State Secretariat for Investment Partnerships (SPI), is publishing this Thursday, April 2, the bid notice for the administrative concession of six urban parks in the capital. The initiative is part of the Investment Partnerships Program of the State of São Paulo (PPI-SP) and aims to improve the management, operation, maintenance and infrastructure of these public spaces. The auction, in the form of an international competitive bidding process, is scheduled for July 7, 2026, at B3 (São Paulo Stock Exchange).
The parks included in the project are currently managed by the Directorate for Parks and Partnerships of the Secretariat for Environment, Infrastructure and Logistics (Semil). The project includes Parque da Juventude Dom Paulo Evaristo Arns, Parque Estadual do Belém Manoel Pitta, Parque Ecológico do Tietê – Engenheiro Goulart Unit, Parque Vila Jacuí, Parque Maria Cristina Hellmeister de Abreu and Parque Itaim Biacica. In 2025, these spaces received approximately seven million visitors.
Among the main interventions are the upgrading of existing structures, the expansion of leisure areas, the implementation of new sports facilities and the provision of services focused on user well-being.
The model предусматривает a 30-year concession contract and estimated investments of more than R$ 150.4 million over the period, with R$ 64.1 million concentrated in the first four years. The concessionaire will be required to comply with contractual performance targets and indicators. The parks will remain open to the public, with no admission fee.
The bidding documents (bid notice, contract and annexes) will be available for consultation on the SPI website, https://www.parceriaseminvestimentos.sp.gov.br/sec-parcerias-investimentos/projetos/projetos-qualificados/gestao-parques-urbanos, and in the project’s Data Room, starting on April 2, 2026. Interested parties may submit requests for clarification until June 9, 2026, by email to parquesurbanos@cpp.sp.gov.br.
