Saudi Aramco invites bids 

Saudi Aramco has started inviting bids to develop housing complexes at Haradh and Wudayhi in Eastern Province on the basis of public-private partnership.

The project was originally awarded to Saudi-based Al-Rajhi Development Co. and India’s Shapoorji Pallonji, but increased input prices and renegotiations between the two terminated the deal, reported MEED.  

The contract includes the construction of 11 residential buildings, two mosques, and a healthcare institute.

In addition, the project comprises the construction of a sewerage system and chiller plants.
