Kuwait cancels Doha phase two tender

24 June 2024

 

Kuwait’s Electricity & Water Ministry (MEW) has cancelled the tender for a contract to design and build the planned second phase of a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant in Doha.

According to a source close to the project, the Ministry of Electricity, Water & Renewable Energy (MEWRE) cancelled the tender on 11 June and subsequently announced the cancellation five days later on 16 June.

The Doha SWRO phase two project is expected to have a capacity of 60 million imperial gallons a day (MIGD).

Contractors submitted bids for the contract in September 2022. At the time, the MEW did not disclose the engineering, procurement and contracting firms that were invited to bid for the contract.

There is uncertainty about whether the ministry will retender the contract.

The MEW awarded South Korea’s Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction, now known as Doosan Enerbility, the $422m contract to build the 60MIGD Doha 1 SWRO in May 2016.
