Nine firms have once again submitted bids to participate in the pre-qualification process for the construction of the new West End Ferry Terminal, this time, by the 31st August deadline.

Although similar in number, a different composition of firms participated in this pre-qualification business opportunity. These submissions will now be evaluated by a panel of evaluators to arrive at a short list of firms to be invited to bid on the construction works. The RDA will provide an update soon after.

Previously, the RDA received nine submissions on 9th June for the prequalification of contractors for the construction phase of the terminal. However, none of the contractors met the requirements for prequalification. The prequalification process was since re-tendered, with the deadline set for August 31, 2023. It is expected that invitations for bid will be issued in September 2023.
