Saudi Water Partnership Company (SWPC) has announced the results of the Second Edition of its Pre-Qualification Programme, re-opened in March 2025, shortlisting 70  local and international companies for future water and wastewater public-private partnership (PPP) projects.

This initiative aims to facilitate and expedite tendering procedures by establishing a pool of Pre-Qualified developers to whom SWPC can directly issue Request for Proposals (RFPs) while providing the private sector with sufficient time to form consortia, thereby enhancing competition for SWPC’s future projects.

Independent Water Plants (IWP)

SWPC said 50 companies have been pre-qualified for Independent Water Plant (IWP) projects.

Saudi-headquartered firms dominate the list with 22 companies, while Spain represents the largest international contingent with seven companies. Other shortlisted firms come from the UAE, Kuwait, India, Italy, Japan, Belgium, France, the United States, Egypt and Bahrain.
