Saudi Arabia’s Royal Commission for Al-Ula (RCU) has asked firms to submit their last and final offer for a contract to build the infrastructure for the tramway at the Al-Ula development in Saudi Arabia. The first phase of the tram scheme is a 22.4-kilometre-long line with 17 stations, operated by 20 trams. It will link Al-Ula International airport to five of the area’s historical regions. The tramway is scheduled to start operating in 2027. The scope of work includes the design and construction of a tram depot, tram tracks, technical buildings, station buildings and other associated infrastructure. The RCU issued a request for proposal notice in June last year and received commercial bids for the project on 10 November. France’s Systra is the consultant. In October 2023, the RCU announced that France’s Alstom would provide rolling stock and systems for the Al-Ula tram scheme. The RCU unveiled an investment plan worth $15bn to regenerate Al-Ula in April 2021. About $3.2bn has been allocated for infrastructure development, including the tram and renewable power generation.   For registration as a supplier: https://www.rcu.gov.sa/en/business-in-alula/supplier-portal (ICE RIYADH)
