10 Companies Compete to Renew Street Lighting Equipment in Hawalli

Sources close to the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy revealed that a total of 10 qualified companies competed for the tender to maintain street lighting equipment in Hawalli Governorate, having submitted their bids to the ministry for review and the preparation of a technical recommendation to award the contract to the best bid that complies with technical specifications.

The ministry stated that the tender is among the important projects implemented by the Distribution Networks Sector. It includes periodic maintenance of main and secondary street lighting equipment, involving daily network surveys, fault detection and repair, and responding to traffic accidents in case of collisions with lighting poles.

The first tender covers Al-Jahra and Farwaniya, while the second covers Hawalli, Ahmadi, and Mubarak Al-Kabeer.
