The Ministry of Energy and the Public Establishment of Transmission and Distribution of Electricity (PETDE) in Syria, in collaboration with the World Bank, wishes to initiate dialogue with international engineering consulting firms in order to gather information and opinions on providing engineering supervision services for the rehabilitation of damaged transmission lines and substations in Syria under the Syria Electricity Emergency Project (SEEP) to be funded by the World Bank. This preliminary consultation aims to gauge market appetite, analyze feasibility, and refine the design of the project to ensure its success.  

The main scope of work under the Project can be broken down into the following:

1. Rehabilitation of two critical 400 kV high-voltage interconnector transmission lines in Syria that were damaged during the conflict, restoring Syria’s regional connectivity to Jordan and Türkiye.
2. Rehabilitation of damaged, critical high-voltage transformer substationsand providing necessary spare parts and maintenance equipment. It is anticipated that at least eight substations will be rehabilitated, restoring approximately 600 mega volt-amperes (MVA) 400/230 kV, 750 MVA 230/66 kV and 510 MVA 66/22 kV of transformation capacity back to PETDE network.

Preliminary Procurement Strategy: The contract for the supervision of consulting services will be procured following an open international competition. After Expression of Interest (EOI) stage, the Bank’s Standard Procurement Documents for the supervision consulting services (Click Here) will be distributed to shortlisted firms. The selection method for this activity is Quality and Cost based selection (QCBS).
