According to informed sources, the three tenders were supposed to be included in the budget for the current fiscal year of 2021/2022 to end in the 2023/2024 fiscal year, but the offering procedures were delayed due to the exceptional circumstances in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lack of liquidity during the last period.

The total estimated budget for the three tenders, according to the ministry’s previous plan, amounted to about KD 60 million, of which KD 15 million is for the renewal of infrastructure in Yarmouk area, KD 20 million for Qortoba, and KD 25 million for Surra area, each of which is distributed over a period of three years, which is the period for the execution of each tender after it is awarded.
