Under a 25-year Sewage Treatment Agreement (STA) with SWPC, the two (2) project companies to be incorporated to develop each Project will treat the entire sewage capacity supplied by SWPC.

SWPC’s obligations under the STA will be supported by a credit support agreement from the Government of Saudi Arabia.

SWPC is currently considering the option to bundle the Riyadh East ISTP and the Khamis Mushait ISTP (together the Bundled ISTPs).

In such case, the bidders will be required to bid for the Bundled ISTPs together under one RFP. The successful bidder will be awarded the Bundled ISTPs but each Project shall be implemented by a separate project company, which will be incorporated by the successful bidder following award of the Bundled ISTPs.

SWPC is being advised by:

  • KPMG Professional Services as as Financial and Lead Advisor
  • White & Case LLP as Legal Advisor
  • Future Water and Power Consulting as Technical Advisor.
