The Tender Board has set May 14 as the deadline for receiving the bids, which will be opened on the same day. The Sultanate had submitted its application for the project at the UN three years ago. A Continental Shelf Extension Committee, formed after a decision by the Council of Ministers, conducted a related study in co-operation with a New Zealand company (GNS) dealing in this field.
