The Saudi Water Partnership Company (SWPC) has invited consultants to submit request for qualification (RFQ) for the contract to provide supervision and contract management services for SWPC’s independent strategic water reservoir (ISWR) and independent water transmission pipeline projects (IWTP).
The ISWR programme consists of the development, financing, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance and transfer of the independent water reservoirs. The ISWR projects will be developed under a build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) model by a project company which will have a 100 per cent stake in the firm. Construction of the first reservoir is due to begin in 2023, with the project expected to be commissioned in 2025.
The ITWP pipelines are also set to be developed under a BOOT model, with construction of the first transmission pipeline and associated infrastructure scheduled to begin in 2023.
Consultants have until 18 April to submit prequalification documents.
