The prequalification was carried out through the technical assistance of the Ministry of Finance’s Public-Private Partnership Central Unit, within the first phase of Egypt’s water desalination program. Prequalified consortia are classified into four categories based on previous experience in various desalination projects regionally and globally. Egypt’s water desalination program entails the launch of several projects possessing a total capacity of 8.85 million m3/day by 2050. The program equally targets to achieve technology transfer and localization of the manufacturing of crucial desalination components. TSFE is part of a special committee formed by a decree issued by the prime minister of Egypt, and that comprises various stakeholders in Egypt’s water desalination program, as it oversees the whole pre-qualification and the tender processes.
