The bidders have been asked to submit their rates for work as Aramco has fast-tracked the scheme and the final designs have yet to be completed. The oil company had earlier been planning to tender the work in November.
Aramco is currently evaluating bids from project management firms.
Project management bidders are understood to include:
- Dar al-Handasah (Lebanon)
- Faithful & Gould (UK)
- Hill International (US)
- Jacobs (US)
- SNC Lavalin (Canada)
- WorleyParsons (Australia)
It is understood that Aramco intends to appoint four firms to manage the construction of the 11 stadiums.
Three of the selected companies will manage the development of three stadiums each and a fourth firm will manage the construction of two stadiums.
The stadiums are expected to cost at least $400m each to build, meaning the overall programme will cost more than $4.4bn. The contractors have been asked to bid for all the stadiums, with a maximum of two awarded to each company. The 18-month deals will be due for completion in June 2016.
Aramco is building the stadiums as part of a King Abdullah Programme to improve sports facilities in the kingdom.
