GoTL will conduct a competitive bidding process to select a qualified and experienced investor/operator to design, build, co-finance, and operate the Project. The International Finance Corporation (“IFC”), a member of the World Bank Group, is acting as Lead Advisor to GoTL on the structuring and tendering of the Project as a PPP.
GoTL wishes to invite interested parties with experience in designing, building, financing and/or operating port projects to register their interest in by submitting a written, yet non-binding Expression of Interest (“EOI”) including a brief profile of the company/group highlighting relevant qualifications, experience and financial resources to pursue the Project. The EOI should be signed by an authorized representative and should be received at the address/email below by September 5, 2013 before 5pm Timor-Leste time. The EOI does not constitute a pre-qualification stage for the Project. The formal tender documents will be announced in due course.
GoTL and IFC will provide further information on the project to parties that submitted an EOI before the deadline.
