May 11 is the deadline for responding to last month’s advertisements from the State Property Committee (SPC) for projects to be implemented under the concession law. These include an auto road project in Tavantolgoi-Khanbogd-Khangi, another in Nariinsukhait-Shiveesuren, a highway project in Ulaanbaatar and an airport at Khushigiin Khundii. All the projects will be of the build-exploit-transfer type.

The selection process will be in two stages. In the first, four companies will be short-listed on the basis of their financial capacity, technological skill, and manpower resources. The final selection will consider the companies’ capacity to implement the project according to plan in and maintain the time schedule.
