SWCC Pipeline Project Tender

Dear Member,
In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, with reference to the letter of the Ministry of Trade dated 02.11.2023 and numbered E-68460249-724.01.01-00090565956, it is stated that information was provided that a pipeline project with a total value of 10 billion US Dollars, extending from the Gulf coast to Riyadh next year and consisting of 20 sub-sections, is on the agenda of the Presidency of the Saudi Arabian Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) Administration; that the tender processes will probably start in 2024; that Turkish companies are encouraged to take part in the tenders; that keeping the localisation rate (percentage of use of Saudi products) high in tender bids submitted to SWCC will give companies a relative advantage; that this matter has been overlooked by many companies, including Turkish companies; and that the localisation rate takes precedence over the lowest price criterion.

It was also conveyed that our Commercial Counsellor's Office in Riyadh can be reached at the e-mail address [email protected] for additional information on the said project.

Kind regards,
Elazığ Chamber of Commerce and Industry
