据知情人士透露，由于潜在竞标者在提交约束性报价前要求提供更多信息，葡萄牙水务公司 Indaqua 的出售进程已被推迟。
By Henrique Almeida and Clara Hernanz Lizarraga The sale of Portuguese water utility Indaqua has been delayed after potential bidders requested additional information before submitting their binding offers, according to people familiar with the matter.
原定于 7 月下旬截止的投标期限已被延长，因为至少有一位潜在买家要求获取更多与特许经营权相关的信息。目前，竞标者正在等待新数据以完成尽职调查并提交最终报价。
Bids were due by late July, but the deadline was extended after at least one potential buyer asked for more information related to concessions, said the people, who cannot be named as the matter isn’t public. Bidders are awaiting the new data before completing due diligence and submitting final offers, the people said.
Manila Water Co.、Igneo Infrastructure Partners、不列颠哥伦比亚省投资管理公司 (BCI) 和 Basalt Infrastructure Partners 仍在参与竞标流程。
Manila Water Co., Igneo Infrastructure Partners, British Columbia Investment Management Corp. and Basalt Infrastructure Partners remain in the process, said the people. No decision has been made and Antin Infrastructure Partners, the fund that controls Indaqua since 2020, could decide not to go ahead with the sale.
目前尚未做出最终决定，自 2020 年以来一直控制 Indaqua 的基金 Antin Infrastructure Partners 可能会决定终止出售。
Representatives for Antin and Basalt declined to comment. Indaqua, Manila Water, Igneo and BCI didn’t respond to requests for comment. Indaqua had previously attracted non-binding offers valuing it at €1.3 billion ($1.5 billion) or more, in what could become one of Portugal’s biggest buyouts this year.
Indaqua 此前曾吸引了估值达 13 亿欧元（约 15 亿美元）或更高的非约束性报价，这可能成为今年葡萄牙最大的收购案之一。
Founded in 1994, Indaqua operates water supply systems and wastewater concessions in Portugal, where it has some 810,000 clients, and Spain, where it services another 80,000. It also operates in Angola, through engineering projects and consultancy.
