Dubai taxi body tenders PPP contract

19 June 2016

Advisers sought for real estate project

Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC) has tendered an advisory contract for a real estate and accommodation project under Dubai’s public-private partnership (PPP) law.

DTC owns three adjacent plots of land, and intends to build accommodation for employees and create new revenue streams.

The advisers will carry out a feasibility study.

The bid deadline is in July.

Dubai’s PPP law came into force in late 2015, providing a flexible framework for all sectors.

The contract for the first PPP project, at Dubai Courts, was awarded to Indian/Saudi Parkline. It will develop an automated car park with 1,232 spaces, in a deal worth $80m.

Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), of which DTC is a part, is expected to be one of the most active clients using the PPP law.

Its flagship project, the Union Oasis transit-oriented development, is at the developer prequalification stage.
