Dubai World Trade Centre has invited selected contractors to submit bids by 12 October for the contract to build two sections of the Expo Village Development at the Dubai Expo site.

The two sections that are being tendered are for parcels 10 and 11 of the Expo Village development. When completed the village will be a residential community for staff from the participating countries working on the Expo. In 2014 the Expo committee said that the target completion date for the Expo village was 2018 – ahead of work starting on the Expo pavilions.

Contractors over the summer submitted bids for the Expo Village infrastructure.

The consultant for the Expo Village is the local office of KEO International Consultants.
