The consortium of France’s Alstom, the local Belgian Bel Hasa Six Construct, UK-based Serco, and US-based Parsons International has been awarded the first phase construction contract for the AED4bn ($1.1bn) Al-Sufouh tram scheme.

The other bidders were: Germany's Siemens with Australia's Gulf Leighton and the local Al-Habtoor Engineering Enterprises, and Italy's Ansaldo Trasporti with Japan's Marubeni Corporation and Pizzarotti, also Italian.
France’s Systra is the consultant. Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority is the client (MEED 28:4:08).
