Qatar’s Public Works Authority (Ashghal) is expected to award a design and build contract for Phase 4 of the Al Uqda Equestrian Complex, located in the Al Khor area in the second quarter of 2025, a source aware of the details said.

The tender was issued on 3 February 2025, with bid submissions closing on 11 March.
