These contracts are expected to be implemented from March 2018 to September 2020 (excluding the WTP operation period).
No nationality restrictions apply, other than any arising from specific exclusions described in the prequalification documents. Prequalification can be achieved for each contract separately or for the two contracts in combination. The prequalification documents are packaged as follows:

Firms wishing to prequalify for one of the contracts should request Package A and/or Package B prequalification documents. Firms prequalifying for Package A and B will only be eligible for award of ONE contract. Successful Applicants for Package C will automatically be prequalified for Package A and B.
