Water technology company Va Tech Wabag said on Saturday that the Saudi Water Authority had cancelled an order for a 300 MLD mega seawater desalination plant earlier awarded to Wabag.
“Subsequent to the award, the company had completed the necessary formalities and executed the contract, which was submitted to the customer (Saudi Water Authority) for their counter-signature and formal commencement of the project. However, the customer has now notified all tender participants through the Etimad portal (Electronic Government Procurement and Tendering Platform of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) that the said tender has been cancelled due to internal reasons attributable to the customer,” Va Tech Wabag said.
Wabag said it is in the process of approaching the customer to understand the reason in better detail and the next course of action.
The order is related to the design, engineering, supply, construction, and commissioning of a 300 MLD Mega Desalination plant at Yanbu, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
