Kuwait invites bids for mega waste water project

3 February 2012: Kuwait has invited companies to submit EoI’s for its Umm Al-Hayman project, the second water and wastewater sector initiative in the country to be developed under a Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model. Announcing the official launch of the project, the Partnerships Technical Bureau (PTB) in Kuwait said the new plant will be built, financed, owned and operated in partnership with private sector companies.

The Partnerships Technical Bureau (PTB) was created by the Kuwaiti government in 2008 to manage private sector participation in the expansion of the country’s infrastructure. The new plant will increase the southern region’s capacity for dealing with its waste water by nearly 20 times, compared to the existing plant capacity.
