Bids now due in late January

Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (Seha) has extended the tender closing date to 26 January for the contract to build an estimated AED2.6bn ($708m) hospital in Al-Ain.

The design has been prepared by a joint venture of Switzerland’s ICME Healthcare, Germany’s Faust Consult Architects & Engineers and Obermeyer Engineering Consulting, also from Germany.
