Muscat - Oman Power and Water Procurement Co (OPWP) has invited companies to register expression of interest in the tender process for the provision of rapid deployment of seawater desalination facilities.
The expression of interests will lead to tendering of contract[s] for the rapid deployment of seawater desalination facilities, OPWP said in an announcement.
OPWP is assessing the feasibility to procure a contract[s] for the long-term hire of seawater desalination facilities, being, as a first priority, sea-going barge mounted plant[s] and as an
alternative land-based portable units. The capacity of a single unit is envisaged to be from 10,000 to 25,000m3/day, with the total requirement of about 100,000m3/day.
Before releasing the request for proposals (RfP), OPWP said it wishes to give notice of the intended process to allow companies with a proven record in similar projects to submit a formal statement to register their interest and provide details of their experience in operation of sea-going barges and/or land-based portable desalination plants.
