CAPT extends deadline to build Sulaibiya juvenile court edifice

KUWAIT CITY, April 12: The Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) extended the deadline for submitting the initial bid bond for companies participating in the tender for studying and designing the Juvenile Court building in Sulaibiya from April 15 to July 15, as per Article 46 of Public Tenders Law No. 49/2016. The Construction Projects Sector at the Ministry of Public Works will oversee the study and design tender, as it is the entity responsible for implementing government projects according to the highest engineering standards.

This ensures the construction of sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings that meet the requirements of the beneficiary -- the Ministry of Justice. After the study and design tender, another tender will be issued for the construction of the court building , which will occupy an area of 21,430.4 square meters in Sulaibiya. The building will house the main court with several administrative departments and courtrooms, in addition to the detention renewal building that shall consist of two halls. The project aims to develop the justice system, ease access to investigations and hearings for juveniles, and expedite the adjudication of their cases.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Works has bolstered its maintenance sector with advanced equipment to deal with rainwater drainage blockages in all governorates. In a move reflecting its commitment to enhancing field performance and raising the level of preparedness, the ministry continued implementing its plan to train technical staff and modernize its equipment fleet.

This ensures a rapid response to complaints and their resolution throughout the country for serving citizens and residents alike. In this context, the ministry announced the provision of 24 specialized vacuum and flusher units to the Maintenance Engineering Sector.

These highly efficient vehicles are designed to remove water and deal with blockages in rainwater and sewage drainage networks. The ministry emphasized that this equipment features advanced technical specifications that meet the demands of field operations. It will enhance the efficiency of specialized teams and improve their ability to respond quickly, thereby supporting the ministry’s efforts to maintain infrastructure efficiency and improve the quality of services provided.
