Saudi gigaproject developer Diriyah Company has allowed firms time until 26 February to prequalify for a contract to build a new museum in the DG2 area of the Diriyah project in Riyadh. Diriyah issued the notice earlier last month, with an initial prequalification deadline of 22 January. Tendering activity is also progressing on the Opera Block assets, located in the Boulevard West District of DG2 at the Diriyah project. Diriyah Company started the post-tender clarifications with bidders for the development of assets in mid-February. Contractors also submitted prequalification forms on 26 January for a contract to deliver infrastructure works at the Diriyah project in Riyadh. The scope covers package two of the infrastructure development works in the DG2 area of Diriyah. Developed by Diriyah Company, the Diriyah masterplan envisages the city as a cultural and lifestyle tourism destination. Located northwest of Riyadh’s city centre, it spans 14 square kilometres and combines 300 years of history, culture and heritage with hospitality facilities. The company awarded several significant contracts last year, including two major contracts worth over $4bn. These include an estimated $2bn contract awarded to a joint venture of El-Seif Engineering & Contracting and China State to build the North Cultural District. In late July, Diriyah also awarded a $2.1bn package to a joint venture of local contractor Albawani and Qatar’s Urbacon to construct assets in the Wadi Safar district of the gigaproject. In December, Diriyah Company had awarded an estimated $1.5bn contract to local firm Nesma & Partners for its Jabal Al-Qurain Avenue cultural district, located in the northern district of the Diriyah Gate project. Once complete, Diriyah will have the capacity to house 100,000 residents and visitors.   For registration as a supplier: https://www.diriyahksa.com/Account/Register (ICE RIYADH)
