Tender 441/2023/MAFWR/HQ-36 launched a maintenance-dredging procurement for Liwa Fishery Harbour. The official Q3 2023 workbook placed the original procedure in financial evaluation. A subsequent Recall-1 listing set a 19 December 2023 deadline, so the earlier evaluation snapshot cannot establish a terminal award. A contractor, value, dredging quantity, target depth, sediment route, mobilisation, completion and acceptance remain undisclosed.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Oman Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Water Resources
Delivery parties
Maintenance-dredging contractor - no public awardee named, Hydrographic survey, dredging plant, sediment transport and disposal lower tiers - not identified
Contract route
Open Oman eTender 441/2023/MAFWR/HQ-36 was published in June 2023 and recorded in financial evaluation in the official Q3 workbook. A Recall-1 listing subsequently set a 19 December 2023 deadline. The workbook predates the recall and contains no supplier or value; a later official award notice has not been located.
Execution window
The original notice was published in June 2023 with an August 2023 bid deadline. The recalled procedure closed on 19 December 2023. Evaluation completion, award, contract signature, notice to proceed, mobilisation, dredging start, survey dates, completion and acceptance remain unpublished.
Works package
The public title confirms dredging work at the operating Liwa Fishery Harbour. Published notices do not expose dredged volume, basin or approach extents, design depth, survey datum, sediment characteristics, disposal or beneficial-use destination, environmental controls, production method, plant requirements or acceptance tolerances.
Marine interfaces
Any maintenance campaign must be sequenced around operating fishing-vessel access, harbour-basin and entrance conditions, hydrographic control, navigation notices, sediment handling and owner acceptance. The public record does not identify closure windows, temporary navigation arrangements, environmental monitoring or the interface with the port's quays, pontoons and breakwaters.
Commercial evidence boundary
No tender estimate, bid range, award value, measured quantity, variation or final account has been disclosed. The original financial-evaluation status and recalled notice cannot be converted into an awarded contract, and historical construction values do not price the maintenance package.
