Kuwait floats tender for consulting firm to establish Kuwait Post Company
. . . to transform postal services through Public-Private Partnership
The Ministry of Communications has floated a public tender to select a specialized consulting firm to prepare the technical, financial, and legal studies necessary for the establishment of Kuwait Post Company.
The initiative, carried out in cooperation with the Public-Private Partnership Authority, forms part of the Ministry’s broader efforts to modernize and develop the postal sector, reports Al-Rai daily.
Acting Undersecretary Meshaal Al-Zaid said the Ministry has finalized the general and specific specifications for contracting with the consulting firm, which will undertake all preparatory work required for establishing the new company.
The tender, announced last Sunday in the official gazette, invites specialized consulting firms and alliances to submit technical and financial proposals to prepare the feasibility study and tender documents, in line with Law No. 116 of 2014 on public-private partnerships.
The deadline for bid submissions is February 23, 2026, while a preliminary meeting to discuss inquiries will be held on December 23 at the Ministry’s headquarters in the Communications Complex Building, Liberation Tower.
Al-Zaid emphasized that applicants must meet strict requirements, including at least eight years of experience in technical, financial, and legal consulting, and a minimum of five years in environmental consulting for regional or international PPP projects.
Firms must also submit official documentation, including clearance certificates, a commercial license, registration with the Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry, tax certificates, and other required approvals.
The establishment of Kuwait Post Company under a public-private partnership is part of the state’s strategic plan to enhance public services.
The project aims to deliver a qualitative transformation in the postal sector by improving service quality, expanding operational and distribution capabilities, and widening the range of services available to citizens and residents, ultimately enhancing the overall user experience.
