THE Public Works Authority (Ashghal) on Tuesday announced the launch of the third phase of ‘Qualification of Small-Scale Qatari Contractors’ initiative with issuance of tenders for four road improvement project contracts worth about QR100 million in October, 2019.
Ashghal had previously signed four contracts within the first phase of the initiative in December, 2018, and then tendered four others within the second phase in April, 2019. With the launch of the third phase, Ashghal would have tendered 12 projects within the ‘Qualification of Small-Scale Contractors’ initiative.
The first phase of the initiative was launched in January, 2018.
The initiative aims at encouraging local Qatari companies to grow their businesses and qualify themselves to compete in the domestic market. It also aims to provide an opportunity for Qatari investors in the construction sector to implement small projects that qualify them to be a part of the country’s strategic projects in the future and contribute to the local economy.
Ashghal is planning to close the tender for these projects in December, 2019, and launch road improvement works in Q1 2020 for a period of 540 days. The projects’ scope includes grading works, road pavement, construction of pedestrian lanes and works to enhance traffic safety such as installation of directional and traffic signs as well as road markings.
The first contract that will be tendered in the third phase includes road improvement works in several areas within the geographical boundaries of Umm Slal, Al Daayen and Al Shamal municipalities.
The second contract includes road improvement works in areas within Doha Municipality whereas the third contract comprises road improvement works within geographical boundaries of Al Wakrah Municipality.
The fourth contract covers road improvement works within Al Rayyan and Al Sheehaniya municipalities.
Ashghal does not require the local companies to have previous experience in the field of road construction or road maintenance as long as the contractor is classified as third category or above in these two fields within the Finance Ministry classification with the aim to provide support to new contractors through training and by introducing them to best practices in project implementation.
