Client has issued requests for proposal (RfPs) for the operation, management, and maintenance of Phase One of its BD3 million ($8 million) beachfront development Bilaj Al Jazayer. To be implemented in two phases, Bilaj Aljazayer will offer high quality public beaches with pedestrian walkways and a leisure outlet for retail and F&B (Food and beverages) units. The Phase One comprises improvements to 1 km of unrestricted vacant beachfront to be later enhanced by a landscape promenade, food and beverages and supporting beach amenities. It will serve as a prime destination for leisure and entertainment which will be open to both tourists and locals alike. Phase Two of the project will include building a four-star hotel situated on Bahrain's southwestern coast to serve the visitors who wish to spend more time at a seaside resort. The scope of work includes providing beach-related services and activities, and handling the supervision and maintenance of cleaning and security services. The deadline for submitting the RfPs is June 2, 2019.

The opening of the first phase of the development project of “Al-Jazayer Beach” will be in the first quarter of 2020. The first stage includes the reclamation of the coast that extends for a distance of approximately 1 km, and the development of a walkway along the coast, in addition to accompanying services such as toilets, restaurants and car parking, which would contribute to providing a high-quality recreation and entertainment environment. The second phase of the project will include the construction of hotels on site to serve visitors who wish to spend more time in the coastal resort, in addition to the construction of housing units.
