Egypt to select winning bid for Sixth of October dry port tender in January

The government will select in January the winning bid in the Sixth of October dry port tender, said Transport Minister Kamel El Wazir, according to the local press. Hassan Allam and Elsewedy are each in a consortium with international companies, that include Concord, Malaysia’s PSA, Schenker Egypt and 3A International. These two consortiums are the only two competing for the tender. The ministry denied reports in the local press in September that it had awarded the tender to Hassan Allam and Samcrete, saying that it was still reviewing technical offers and that Samcrete was not attached to one of the consortiums.
