This award effectively extends the GESi framework agreement that Dar originally entered into with Aramco in 2019
Dar Al-Handasah Consultants (Shair and Partners), a Sidara Company, under an amendment to an existing framework agreement, will provide consultancy services, including engineering, design, project management, and multidisciplinary services for both existing and new infrastructure projects led by Aramco. The amendment, awarded in December 2023, provides for an additional five years of general engineering and project management services – infrastructure (GESi) and can also be extended up to 3 additional years.
This award effectively extends a previous GESi framework agreement that Dar signed with Aramco in 2019. It builds on a historical relationship that dates back to 1957 and has been characterized by the successful delivery of innovative and transformative projects across various sectors.
Dar and Sidara’s Chairman and CEO Talal Shair said regarding the new framework agreement, “We are privileged to continue supporting Aramco in achieving its strategic objectives. We believe the new agreement validates and spotlights our contributions and provides us with an opportunity to continue to bring exceptional value to Aramco, leveraging the best of our expertise and capabilities, as well as that of all Sidara Companies.”
Dar has been active in Saudi Arabia since 1957, delivering over 600 projects for over 100 clients. With seven offices across major cities in the Kingdom, the company employs over 3,000 workers, including more than 1,000 Saudi nationals. Beyond its contributions to numerous Aramco projects, Dar has played a role in many of the ambitious and visionary giga-projects currently in development across the Kingdom, particularly those supporting the achievement of Vision 2030.
