Saudi Arabia's Neom has issued a tender notice inviting contractors to bid for the concrete works package for Trojena's Ski Village. The tender was issued on 3 March and the last date for bid submission is 21 April. The Ski Village is a superstructure comprising five zones, from the ground floor to the roof, designed to mimic a ski slope and align with the mountain. The village will also include hotels, residences and retail facilities. Designed by the Hong Kong-based architecture firm Aedas, Trojena Ski Village will be the Middle East’s first outdoor ski resort. The project is scheduled to open in 2026 and will host the Asian Winter Games in 2029. In March,contractors comprising Riyadh-based Albawani and Malaysian Eversendai Corporation had started the steel fabrication works for Trojena Ski Village assets in Neom. Neom awarded the contract for the project in September. Neom is advancing its plans to deliver several key components of the Trojena development. In March, Neom was seeking interest from companies for the development of the Mirage Visitor Centre in the Gateway Cluster of Trojena. The Mirage Visitor Centre is a transmission hub located at the development's lower plateau. Visitors will arrive via automated vehicles and transfer to the funicular, travelling through a tunnel passing the Vault and on to the various destinations within Trojena. Neom is also close to awarding a contract for the staff and contractors’ camp facilities at Trojena. The contract covers the construction of workers’ accommodation facilities at Camp 4 and Camp 2 at the development. In December, it selected Italian contractor WeBuild for an estimated $5bn contract to build the dams that will create an artificial lake at the heart of the mountain resort. Neom also awarded a $1.2bn infrastructure development contract in October to a joint venture of the local Al Ayuni Investment & Contracting and Turkish Limak Holding.   Launched by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Al Saud, Trojena will be a year-round tourist destination.   For registration as supplier: https://www.neom.com/en-us/our-business/suppliers (ICE RIYADH)
