The bid deadline for Bahrain’s Addur independent water and power project has been postponed by nearly a month to 4 June.

Technical bids will be opened on 5 June, after which the client will have between 10-12 days to ask bidders for clarifications. A list of the bidders who have qualified technically for the project will be announced on 21 July.
