The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC), Saudi Arabia in cooperation with the National Center for Privatization & PPP (NCP) and Qiddiya Investment Co. (QIC), announces that it has received expression of interest in bidding for the Qiddiya High-Speed Rail project.

The list includes 145 companies, divided into six categories, covering developers, suppliers, operators, investors, and management and design consultancies, RCRC said.

It explained that the Qiddiya Rail aims to diversify transportation modes in Riyadh, noting that the project will be implemented under a public-private partnership (PPP) model.
