Bahrain’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Planning has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to consultants for providing contract management and construction supervision of the East Sitra Social Housing Project. The development will feature 531 residential units.

The project represents one of Bahrain’s largest-ever residential developments and aligns with the Kingdom’s aims of encouraging urban growth and regeneration as part of a commitment to an increasingly-diversified economy. This in turn is a key element of the nation’s ambitions to achieve regional leadership as a major trading hub.

According to the ministry, only engineering consultants with a Category ‘A’ licence from the Council for Regulating the Practice of Engineering Professions (CRPEP), Kingdom of Bahrain, will be eligible for the contract.

The tenders will be evaluated in two phases, assessing qualification, technical and financial criteria. The deadline for submitting the entries is 24th April.
