Saudi Arabia launched procurement for its section of the GCC railway project linking the six member states, MEED reported.
Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) issued a tender on May 7 for design consultancy services, with bids due by June 30. The scope covers concept, preliminary, and issued-for-construction (IFC) design stages for the network.
SAR will also require the selected consultant to review, update, and complete the existing preliminary design.
The Saudi segment will run from Al Khafji in the Eastern Province near the Kuwait border to Al Al Bathaa on the UAE border, spanning about 672 kilometers.
Under the broader GCC plan, the 2,186-km railway will extend from Kuwait through Dammam in Saudi Arabia, connect to Bahrain via a planned bridge, then continue from Dammam to Qatar, the UAE, and finally Muscat via Sohar in Oman.
