King Salman International Airport Development Company (KSIADC), backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, has issued a tender for a design-and-build contract to develop the fourth runway at King Salman International airport (KSIA) in Riyadh. The tender was floated on 17 April. The bid submission deadline is 15 May. Earlier in May,  KSIADC had given firms until 12 May to submit bids for a design-and-build contract to develop the third runway at KSIA. It is understood that the third and fourth runways will add to the two existing runways at Riyadh’s King Khalid International airport, which will eventually become part of KSIA. KSIADC prequalified firms in September for the main engineering, procurement and construction packages; early and enabling works; specialist systems and integration; specialist systems, materials and equipment; engineering and design; professional services; health, safety, security, environment and wellbeing services; modular installation and prefabrication; local content; and environmental, social and governance and other services. The entire scheme is divided into eight assets. These are: Iconic Terminal Terminal 6 Private aviation terminal Central runway and temporary apron Hangars Landside transport Cargo buildings Real estate In August last year, KSIADC confirmed it had signed up several architectural and design firms for the various elements of the project. UK-based Foster+Partners will design the airport’s masterplan, including the terminals, six runways and a multi-asset real estate area. US-based engineering firm Jacobs will provide specialist consultancy services for the masterplan and the design of the new runways. UK-based engineering firm Mace was appointed to carry out the delivery partner role on the project, and the airspace design consultancy contract was awarded to local firm Nera.   For registration as a supplier:  https://www.pif.gov.sa/en/vendor-gate/   (ICE RIYADH)
