Water provision is a priority: MEW

KUWAIT CITY, June 15: The Grievances Committee asked the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) to provide copies of documents and information related to two grievances currently under review. The first grievance, submitted by a company, is about the tender for the supply and installation of three main substations (132/11 kV) for a cloud data center project at various locations in the country, including feeders and accessories. The second grievance, also filed by a company, is about the tender for the supply and installation of a main substation in Al-Matahin (132/11 kV – B), along with its feeder and accessories. The committee informed the agency that it is in the process of reviewing and deciding on both grievances. As a result, it requested the suspension of all procedures related to the challenged decision until a final ruling is issued. On the other hand, CAPT stated during its meeting last Wednesday that it provided the committee with copies of all relevant documents and notified the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy to suspend the procedures. In addition, the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy is awaiting the approval of the State Audit Bureau (SAB) for Phase Two of the Doha Reverse Osmosis Water Production Plant project, at a total cost of KD114.28 million.
