Saudi Arabia's Neom has issued a tender notice inviting contractors to bid for a contract to build a school in the development's Oxagon Village. The two-storey school building will have a built-up area of about 22,000 square metres with 50 classrooms. The building is expected to accommodate more than 1,000 students. Construction is slated to start in Q3 2024 and is due to be completed by 2026. The contract duration is two years from the start of construction. In March, Neom was close to completing the advanced design works for the Oxagon residential village and is expected to tender the construction work of the first phase in Q2 this year. Oxagon Village will be built on an area of 1.5 square kilometres. It will comprise 60 residential buildings with about 8,500 apartments catering to 17,000 residents. The development will also include schools, hospitals, offices, sports facilities, hotels and restaurants. The project will be delivered using a modular construction method, whereby pre-fabricated modules are assembled on site. The first residential precincts are expected to be completed by the end of Q1 2026. Oxagon Village is the core residential component of the Oxagon masterplan. The project will be built offshore, next to the development's new port and logistics centre, and will have residential units ranging from studios to five-bedroom apartments. US-based design, architecture and engineering firm HOK is undertaking the design works. Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud launched Oxagon in late 2021. It will include onshore elements as well as floating structures offshore. Construction work on the 48 square-kilometre, eight-sided industrial city is under way.   For registrazione as supplier: https://www.neom.com/en-us/our-business/suppliers   (ICE RIYADH)
