Kuwait City: Kuwait’s Central Agency for Public Tenders has approved the award of a contract worth KD13.971 million to upgrade data collection and analysis equipment used at the country’s power generation plants and main substations.
The project was approved following observations made by the State Audit Bureau and covers five contract items awarded to bidders that met the required technical specifications and conditions.
As part of the tender process, the agency instructed all participating companies to extend their initial bid bonds in accordance with Article 46 of Public Tenders Law No. 49 of 2016, which governs the validity of tenders.
The project aims to modernise equipment responsible for collecting and analysing operational data from electricity production and transmission facilities, ensuring greater efficiency, reliability and operational readiness.
